Import Netlist to Schematic with existing Cells in other Libraries

$

Hello,

I have a netlist, which I want to import into an schematic view. The netlist contains several instances from a PDK library and my own libraries. The netlist format does not matter, since it will be created by a script later. However, I tried working with SPICE and CDL by exporting a simple schematic and reimport it into another library. With this I get the following error: ('TEST' is another cell in one of my libraries not existing in the destination library)

 ERROR (AVLVSNN-10091) : 'TEST' cell requested to blackbox could not be netlisted as no pin information is available.
Check blackBoxPinInfo settings for the cell.
*ERROR* cell 'TEST' is not defined.

I could not find any information about the 'blackBoxPinInfo'. I also tried adding my libraries to the 'reference library list' and to write a device map, but it seems this is only possible for a few default SPICE components to be mapped. However, if I copy the cell 'TEST' into the destination library before, the import works. 

My question is, is it possible to import a netlist, which has instances of arbitrary cells from arbitrary libraries, into a new cell of another library?

Best regards
Paul
