Brad,
Thanks for your reply,
BUT
Actually by mistake ,i delete my design which i made on
schematic, but i have its PCB and PCB's layout. Now i dnt remeber the
acutal values of resistors and capacitors and their interconection
with other components,
Thats why i asked for the method to get back my schematic
from my layout.

I knew that doing reverse engineering ,i can get that
interconnections but still i wouldnot be able to have the values of
resistors and capacitors
.
So if u know any advance method for this please tell me,


With regards.

I've used Protel 99SE, not DXP. In 99SE, I think there may be a way
to produce a bill of materials that would include the component value
(but I've never used it...). If not, you can examine each component
on the PCB and look at its "comment".

Did you not print the schematic before designing the board? You
should also be able to find backup schematic files somewhere.
