Resizing Graphics (without changing aspect ratio)

[James Clark]

I am importing some graphics (logos) and I need to resize them. But, when I drag the corner arrows, there doesn't seem to be the option to constrain the proportions of the object to ensure the aspect ratio doesn't change. Normally, in Windows, you'd hold control (or shift, or alt, etc) while doing this to constrain the proportions.

Is there a hidden was to do this?

Currently, I need to measure the object width and height then resize it to approximately what I want, then fine-tune the width or height to restore the aspect ratio; not ideal really. A better solution would be most welcome.

Just wanting to bump up this one. Nearly 9 years later and still no way to resize an image and keep its aspect ratio? I expect it's not uncommon for your users to want to put their logo on their schematics and layouts. I don't want our logo being stretched. Can someone just put some shift-key code in there?! I'd expect a pretty good workload-to-customer-satisfaction ratio there.

It is annoying to keep having to calculate the size based on the aspect ratio every time an image is imported and resized.
