Height & width locking

[Ultraleech10]

So, I am trying to group a bunch of stacked lettering and resize them to make it all bigger but when I grab the corner, it just lets me drag wherever and for example I’m exaggerating but it allows me to make the text 500 pixels wide and 20 pixels tall so that’s practically impossible to read. 
I need to know how to lock it where it keeps the height and width at the corresponding sizes? I hope this makes sense.

Hi @Ultraleech10 welcome to the forums,

If you're able to freely transform your object(s) with the aspect ratio ignored this is determined by 'Move tool aspect constrain' setting that can be found in the app settings/preferences > Tools. If you set the option to 'Always constrain' this will ensure that your scaling will always be constrained by the aspect ratio no matter what is selected, but it can still be ignored if you use the 'Shift' command on the command controller. Alternatively, you can leave it on Automatic which will change the behaviour dependant on the number of objects selected, but you can always use shift on the command controller to do the opposite.
