A passing thought !
 

I don’t know if the following is true but, if my scalescenes pdf is say 95 percent and a have to enlarge it to 110 percent, do I get a dilution of 15 percent on colour shading ?

 

Or does a pdf not work that way ?

Certainly in my experience there is no dilution or alteration of colours.  My layout is full of Scalescenes and Scalescenes style buildings that have been blown up by 175% for 0 gauge.

I believe the answer to be yes. I think scalescenes pdfs are vector line work and text (which would not dilute), filled with bitmap textures which will dilute if you enlarge them. Though, I also believe that the bitmaps are very well anti-aliased which means that they can be enlarged a certain amount without pixelation.
