Hi @yan.aquino,
When you draw in modelspace you should (best practice) draw at one-to-one. This means if you need to draw an item one meter long then you draw it one meter long.
Paperspace layouts give you a view of that one-to-one model through viewports.
First, you need to make sure that you started your drawing off of a metric or imperial template depending on which you prefer.
If you picked the wrong one, don't worry. You change the drawing units by the use of DWGUNITS.
once you have constructed your 1:1 model, switch to paperspace and define a page setup. This configures the output size whether to a piece of paper or to a digital format such as PDF. Pick you r paper size and ideally the scale which should be 1:1. I like to recommend always working 1:1.
So, the next step is to create viewport view of your model. This is where you set up the relationship (scale) of the model size in real units to that of the piece of paper.
I like to teach my beginning users to use the zoom 1/xp method. This means 1 / scale x papersize (1:1).
The scale list lets you have this even easier but you can configure your scales to what you need. It is merely a comparison of what you see in the paper (layout) versus what you are drawing in the model (drawing units).
If this is still confusing (and I can be confusing-my apologies), please attach a sample drawing of your model that is drawn in 1:1 and I can show you how to place it into a viewport with a variety of scales.
