how to change scale to 1/8"

How do you change the scale on a drawing to 1/8"?

Hi Debbie, thank you for clarifying that!

I won't be working in the elevations page. I will be working with a client photograph and adding draperies, shades and/or different fabrics. I'm a workroom. Below is a clip (not the full image) of a practice sample I've been working on. It's a stock photograph, I added drapes. Photo is landscaped...

I'm trying to find the the rounded-point cascade on page 441 (top left of page in the Design Directory of Window Treatments) in MMS. I've entered the page number in the search box and it does not really help. Suggestions? Thank you....
