Resizing a graphic in Visio does not lock aspect ratio
Open the shape sheet and under protection change the value of LockAspect from 0 to 1.
Deleted : I am using Microsoft Professional 2019.
I imported a graphic.
When I select the graphic, and hold down the Shift key, the aspect ratio is not constrained.
Visio is the only program I've ever used where the Shift key does not constrain the aspect ratio. It is very strange behavior.
Is there a setting that needs to be changed?
I opened the Options window in Visio. I was not able to find a Setting pertaining to aspect ratio.
Could you direct me to the Setting that needs to be revised?
- As far as I know there is no such setting ! May be in registry ?

In the File menu there is an Options category. Under Options select customize the Ribbon then enable Developer as a menu item. With the Developer menu item select Show ShapeSheet. In the shape sheet there is a Protection category with a LockAspect setting. Change the 0 to a 1. Make sure that the object that you want to lock the aspect ratio is selected before showing the shapeSheet.
