Starting point for dynamic grid

I'm looking for some direction here.  I don't think this is possible with DBs, but I'd like some confirmation before I go bang my head against LISP. (I regard any coding, if that's what you'd call writing LISP routines, as medieval villagers might have regarded wizardry and I attempt to do it as little as possible.)

 

I have made a grid that is square:

And I've put some dynamic stuff on it:

And that works well enough, except when I need the x distance to be different than the y distance, or vice-versa. I can scale the grid by picking points in the x, y, or diagonal directions, but the scaling in one dimension is not independent of the other. It'd be nice if I could scale in just the x or just the y, giving me something that might look like this (with a shorter x distance than y distance):

Can this be done with dynamic blocks?

Yes, what you describe can certainly be done in a dynamic block actually in several different ways.  If you'd posted the block, I'd have recorded and posted a vid, but typing up a step-by-step or starting from scratch is tiresome.

Wow. Yeah, I didn't know any of that was possible. Thank you so much and I really appreciate the time you took to do that.
