You can set a viewport (in paperspace) to plot to any scale.

 

Your dimension will not change since it's tied to the selected PLine.

You can't have a different H and V plot scale, AutoCAD wont do that.

 

If you realy need to have different H & V scales then you will have to scale/stretch the profile in modelspace before plotting.

 

Why do you need different H & V scales:?:

well nukecad, my project is a profile section of a highway it is 2920m long n delta y is abt 35 m. I'm asked to plot the profile on an A4 paper using scale: H 1:2000 and V 1:200, so if you calculate you'll need abt 7 papers A4, and im stuck to this issue.

Draw the grid with the spacing the same in both the horizontal and vertical directions then save it as a block. Insert it with a different scale factor for X and Y.
