i am would like to know how to stretch a 2d drawing ie a simple ladder but keep all the rungs equally spaced, this is easy in inventor by the use of driven dimensions but how can this be achieved in a 2d drawing ?

Make a block out of it and insert with non-uniform scale, maybe dynamic block

A block with non-uniform scale would work if your ladder rungs are single line. If your rungs have thickness then this method would stretch them too.
Below is a quick screencast using Dynamic Block method. The sample is very primitive but you get the point.

When using dimensional constraints and parameters in a block, you can use parameters as the input for an array. See this example.

I concur that dynamic rectangular array is a better approach than dynamic block. I need to stop thinking in AutoCAD 2006 🙂
