set my scale

(OP)
hi if any one can give me a tip of how to set my scale 1/8"=1'
i start setting my units then i set my drawings limits and star draw and everything is normal into the time i going to plot i uses view ports in paper space when i call for the scale 1/8"=1' my drawing is to small i tray different scales and the more visible is 1:10 or scale to fit if any can give me a tip i will really appreciate i using cad 2005 tank you.  

RE: set my scale

Draw in full scale in model space. In other words, if something is 1 inch long, draw it 1 unit long.  If you are in the metric system, if something is 1 mm long draw it 1 unit long.  In paper space create a viewport and sczle it so it fits the space on the paper or to a particular scale.  If you want it to be 1/8"=12" scale, right click the viewport, select properties, in the scale box type 1/96 and press enter.  If that is too large or small, try again.
