     (let (netlister isNextGenExtrCV currentCV signalList)
  netlister = (nlGetNetlister instance)
  currentCV = (nlGetCurrentCellView netlister)
  isNextGenExtrCV = (nlIsSmartExtractedView currentCV)
  signalList = (nlGetSignalList instance)
   (when (not isNextGenExtrCV) nlPrintString(netlister sprintf(nil "(")))
    (foreach signal signalList nlPrintString(netlister sprintf(nil "%s     " signal)))
   (when (not isNextGenExtrCV) nlPrintString(netlister sprintf(nil ") ")))
