Hi:

It is not as simple as standardizing observed variables, in the case of non-linear models, because the underlying latent variable (e.g., in the case of the probit) needs to be standardized in the first instance (and estimating its variance is not that straightforward). See, e.g.,

http://www3.nd.edu/~rwilliam/xsoc73994/L07X.pdf

Perhaps they will add this feature to -sem- in future versions. At this time, Mplus can do this for you.

Best,
J.
