Hi,

for reasons of consistency I'd like to define a kind of master-line. So I have everywhere the same proportions even when changing this master value.

My idea was

\def\MyGrid{15pt}

and to use it for example like

width=1.5\MyGrid

But this doesn't work (error massage mentions problem with units).

What is the right syntax for definitions like this?

\newdimen\MyGrid MyGrid=15pt -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
