ADS Filter simulation from picture of layout

Hello everybody,

I got just out of curiosity: today, I've been told that it is possible to perform a simulation in Momentum of a, let's say, microwave filter by only having a pdf with its layout, because Momentum is able to "recognize" it and generate a layout from it. It sounds really weird to me but I am not quite familiarised with ADS and I'm in doubt. Does anyone know if it is remotely true? In that case, how?

Thank you all in advance

This is not an ADS feature. ADS can read the "standard" EDA/CAD file formats.

However, many years ago I used that workflow manually: Convert the bitmap into a vector drawing, save vector drawing in DXF format, import that DXF to the EM solver. Finally, scale layout to match the actual dimensions.
