Hi,
I am a metric scaler ;-), but here is a nice information page.

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.
