Hi,  
I am using the python tracing feature to write a script that I will use for multiple models but I want to reset the glyph scale factor with respect to each specific model.  
using the user interface it is simple and straight forward but in the script it saves a value that is specific for one model.

How can I write the script to reset that factor depending on each case? if I am not mistaken, this line should be changed:

_\> # Properties modified on glyph1_

> glyph1.ScaleFactor = 5.170302447514938e-05
