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?

Steffen

P.S. I'd like to use it in ConTeXt, but I guess this way of defining is pure TeX, right?
