Everything else works. scratch dimensions are used all over the place, so it's dangerous to use them to pass values in this way, instead use: \expanded{\externalfigure[pdftex-z][type=pdf,width=\the\dimen0,height=\the\dimen2]} is one way, \edef\MyWidth {\the\dimen0}% \edef\MyHeight{\the\dimen2}% \externalfigure[pdftex-z][type=pdf,width=\MyWidth,height=\MyHeight] is another one. So, either expand, or use intermediate macros. (no reason to set the type=pdf here) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
