How can I lock just the size of object?
The only option I can find is to lock size AND position. I only want to lock the size of an object and NOT the position. What am I missing?
Idea
Lock the SIZE of a shape in Lucidchart without locking the position
+1Hi
It is possible to lock the ratio of a shape by selecting a shape then opening the ‘Shape Options panel and clicking the lock icon between width & height. However this will not lock the size of the shape and it’s still possible to resize it.

Hi
Per my understanding the native option to lock only the size of an object without also locking its position.
The "Lock" feature in Lucidchart applies to both size and position, making the object fully fixed in place.
- You can also refer to this post - Ability to lock shapes to a specific table cell or cells? | Community covers about locking shapes to table cells reveals a broader limitation in Lucidchart's locking functionality. Specifically, the platform currently needs detailed locking options, such as 'size only' or 'position only.'.
Your request for size-locking objects highlights the need for more precise control over object properties, adding to the same challenge faced when anchoring shapes to tables or preventing unintended resizing
We can also wait to know from other products experts from the community for any other suggestions.
Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
