Why it is desirable to capture the circuit schematics in a Schematics capture software package?
A Schematic Capture package captures the circuit schematics. From the schematics, it will generate a Netlist. This Netlist will be used as input to the PCB Layout CAD package. The use of a schematic capture package makes it possible to link the circuit schematic with the final layout; and this makes it possible to run a Design Rule Check to verify that the final PCB matches the original schematics.
