The current possible ways are
1. CDL In; Command Interpreter Window (CIW) -> File -> Import -> CDL...
CDL is a Cadence proprietary format similar to Spice, mainly used for
the Schematic side for Layout versus Schematic checks.
2. Custom SKILL scripts.

But I recently posted a question to a similar forum which might be of interest

In IC610, you'll also be able to import SPICE and spectre netlists (CDL is pretty SPICE-like anyway). See: There's an article on this on http://www.cdnusers.org but the server is down at the moment so I can't give the exact link. Regards, Andrew.
