Is there a description of the interpretation of the matrix? I remember vaguely from my graphics course... Most notably: I do no want to reset the traslation & rotation.. only scaling...
Rotation and scaling are hard to disentangle. Translation is easy, however: it's the rightmost column that must be set to 0 to remove translation.
To remove only scaling, I _think_ (not tested) you need to reduce the two left columns proportionally so that A*D - B*C = 1. In any case, not easy to do manually, unfortunately.

Thanks again! I came across a different problem... When I select more than one of the clones and apply the transformation, then they (obviously) move to the same place... something not intended...
My problem is that I have MANY clones which would mean that I would have to manually select every one of them and reset matrix. This is almost as much work as redo the marking again..
I don't know whether it would be useful for anybody except me, but if the developers thought it is not a lot of work, perhaps a simple button "reset clones" (possibly with a small dialog about what to reset) would be great...
Anyway, I'll think about the problem and maybe create an external script from the examples on CVS.
THANKS!
