Unable to scale a sketch symbol

Unable to scale a sketch symbol

Can anyone please explain why the following code generates a Syntax error for the 'oSymbol.Scale=0.5' .  If I remove the offending 'Scale' line of code then my symbols rotate as expected?

 

Thanks

 

Roger Mitchell

        Dim oSymbol As SketchedSymbol
        Dim oSymbols As SketchedSymbols
        For Each oSymbol In oSymbols
            oSymbol.Scale=0.5  'This line gives a Syntax error
            oSymbol.Rotation = 1.571  'This works as expected
        Next

Public Sub main()

Dim a As Application
Set a = ThisApplication

Dim b As DrawingDocument
Set b = a.ActiveDocument

Dim oSymbol As SketchedSymbol

        'Dim oSymbols As SketchedSymbols
        For Each oSymbol In b.ActiveSheet.SketchedSymbols
           MsgBox oSymbol.Scale
           Dim x As Double
           x = 2
           oSymbol.[Scale] = x ' 0.2'This line gives a Syntax error
            oSymbol.Rotation = 1.571  'This works as expected
        Next
End Sub

Thanks Arthur- I do not understand how you knew to frame the syntax as you did but it is much appreciated.  It works.
