    It locks the proportions of an element - so if you resize - it will keep the same proportions.

     

    Create a Chart - Turn "Lock Aspect" on - and then resize with the mouse - and you'll see it keeps the proportions the same.

     

    Think of a 16:9 TV - whether is 42" or 65" - its proportions are 16:9

     

    Hope this helps!
