So therefore 12"/(3/32")=128.0000

You can also adjust the scale by typing in a new value, thus if the scale is "12"/0.25=48.000" you can alter it slightly by typing in 49.000 or 47.000, or whatever, to get it fairly close to 3/32 or whatever you need.
I would also import the scanned-in image to a new layer "Arch Drawing" or some such and scale it appropriately in it's layer, then place all other objects in a separate layers(s) to the appropriate scale. Note that the scanned image is currently it's own object, so it's easy to cut and past it out of the current layer and into it's own.
