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?

      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.
