 Next, the scale for the C5 process is 300nm using the MOSIS Scalable CMOSsubmicron design rules.
To set the scale go to File -> Preferences -> Technology -> Scale and set mocmos scale to 300 nm as seen below.

Then Press OK to exit.

Next to draw the schematic of a resistive divider.
Go to Cell -> New Cell and enter the cell name (R_divider) and view (schematic) seen below.
