While I open a paper template in overleaf, there comes a Illegal unit of measure(pt inserted) and it won't disappear whether I change the LaTeX Engine. But the same code runs well while I build it in mactex. I also tried the highest rank solution of a similar problem in Illegal unit of measure(pt inserted), which still does not help. I'm confused now. template link in overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/read/yqkvhdgwknjs

  • Hello, please include a MWE in the code. Welcome to TeX.SE! – Moriambar Mar 29 '17 at 14:50
  • I've changed your Overleaf project's read-and-edit URL to a read-only URL in the question, as otherwise your project will be directly editable by others—which you may not want! – imnothere Mar 29 '17 at 14:52
  • Thank you for remind me! It has already changed so that I covered with a new one. – Mata Fu Mar 29 '17 at 15:00

(Disclaimer: I'm a support personnel at Overleaf.)

I got the same error while compiling your project on MacTeX 2016. The error is caused by line 657 of the bmvc2k.cls file:

\put(\LenToUnit{\textwidth\kern3pt},\LenToUnit{-\bmv@ruleroffset}){%right ruler

Changing it to 

\put(\LenToUnit{\dimexpr\textwidth+3pt},\LenToUnit{-\bmv@ruleroffset}){%right ruler

solves the problem.

It may be worthwhile to feedback to the organiser/publisher about this so that they can update their template? A similar issue seemed to have been around for a while: EveryShipout errors when using TikZ with conference style

  • Thank you for your solution! After modifying as you said. The previous problem has been solved. But another problem occurs in line 296 \end\documentclass{beamer}. The following code looks like an example and won't be showed in the builded pdf file by maxtex. – Mata Fu Mar 29 '17 at 15:18
  • I don't see that line at all (and that's a beamer presentation, while your project in this question is a two-column manuscript). If you're having a different problem with another project, please accept this answer by clicking on the "tick" symbol first, and ask a new question. (Or you can contact Overleaf support at support@overleaf.com, if it's an Overleaf-specific issue.) – imnothere Mar 29 '17 at 15:27
  • Thank you for your help! It's a mistake. It works right now. And I will report it to the organiser using this link! – Mata Fu Mar 29 '17 at 15:34
