How do I change the drawing scale?

New user. Windows 64-bit. Version 3.27

Where do I change the drawing scale to feet? I don't seem to be able to change settings and save changes.

Common praxis in CAD is to draw everything in 1:1 ... regardless the size. Scaling comes into the play during the print process. Please refer to the print tutorials below:
