| The only way to scale different amounts in X and Y is to first make it a block, then insert a new block, scaled by .5in X and .75 in Y. Then explode the block. AutoCAD will only scale uniformly on regular entities.

Scale 48 x 48 by .75 = 36 x 36. Then in 3D rotate along one edge by 48.1897 degrees. ARCOS(24/36) Now project it to a flat surface, and the scaling is done.
