Hi!
Is it possible to calculate with \measure or do I have to resort to
dimens? Example:
\definemeasure [mymeasure] [4cm]
\newdimen\mydim \mydim4cm
\starttext
\framed[width=4cm]{Foobar}
\framed[width=\measure{mymeasure}]{Foobar}
\framed[width=2\mydim]{Foobar}
\framed[width=2\measure{mymeasure}]{Foobar}
\stoptext
Marco

You can use \measured or just create more named lengths.
\definemeasure [onemeasure] [4cm]
\definemeasure [twomeasure] [\measure{onemeasure}*2]
%\definemeasure [twomeasure] [2\measured{onemeasure}]
\starttext
\framed[width=\measure{onemeasure}]{Foobar}
\framed[width=2\measured{onemeasure}]{Foobar}
\framed[width=\measure{twomeasure}]{Foobar}
\stoptext

That's what I was looking for.

That's exactly what I initially did. After I ended up with
\measure{Small}
\measure{TwoSmall}
\measure{ThreeSmall}
\measure{FourSmall}
\measure{Big}
\measure{TwoBig}
\measure{ThreeBig}
\measure{FourBig}
I deleted the whole mess and went with \dimen.
Thanks for the quick response.
Marco
