Hi

I have recently returned as a lucid chart user. I am quite certain it was possible to lock the aspect ratio of an object before. Now I don’t find that option anywhere. Does anybody know how to find it?

Hi ​@kjell, thanks for posting in the Lucid Community!

You can lock the size of a shape without locking its location on the canvas using two different methods. 

 

Option 1: Right-clicking on a shape

  1. Right-click directly on the shape. 
  2. Hover over Lock/unlock.
  3. Select Lock size.

 

Option 2: Using the right side panel

  1. Select the shape you’d like to lock the size of. 
  2. You’ll see a menu bar above the shape. Select the button to Open right panel
  3. Once the right-hand panel has opened, select the tri-dot More button, located next to the lock symbol.
  4. Select Lock/unlock, and Lock size.

 

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions, happy to help.
