Is It Possible ?

Hello,
Is It Possible to Use Omnipage v12 or Finereader v6 to Do OCR For Schematic Components instead of Chacters OR is There a Package that can detects Components from Schematics and Send it directly to PCB .
Thanks
 

No it is not possible, you don't know anything about the footprints from the schematic symbols.
You should first draw the schematic in a schematic editor, define footprints and generate a netlist to use with the PCB layout program. But you can get programs to convert PCB layouts in BMP format to use with the PCB layout program.
 

I agree with ME, there is no direct way to translate pure graphical data to an intelligent schematic, EDA schematics contain a lot of intelligent information that simply is not available on a sheet of paper - if you have a CAD schematic there are ways to translate from one format to another, but none of them seem to work great - it usually invoves so much clean-up and correction work that you might as well re-draw the schematic.
