Preserve aspect ratio when pasting width or height in Inkscape

Preserve aspect ratio when pasting width or height in Inkscape

I'm frequently using the paste size feature in Inkscape to ensure that several objects have the same size. But sometimes I want to just ensure that a new object has the same height as a old object but I want to preserve the aspect of the new object.

"You need to use the ""Aspect Ratio Lock"" Button. This is found on the main tool bar. It is an orange/yellow padlock sitting next to the X: Y: and W: boxes used to adjust position and width.

If you press the lock button it will lock lock the aspect ratio when you paste either width or height"
