Many years ago there was specific OCR software (SpotlightPro / RasterDesk) for vectorize scanned technical drawings to CAD formats (with dimension lines, text labels, etc.); now there is Scan2CAD[0]. All them are proprietary software.

Sadly I can't find any open-source vectorizer & OCR for repair scanned technical drawings, and Tesseract has a lot of issues with rotated text labels specific to CAD.[1]
