Hello Imits and John, if you print from model space you would :
"border" your model space with the paper sizes printed scaled at predefined values ( ask eventually the list ).
Print the inside rectangle as indicated on the file "WINDOW TO BE PRINTED".
Set the "line type scale" at the scale of the print to eventually see the center lines and hidden lines.
 
SEE THE FILE : CANOPIES-PJH.dwg IN THE CAD/BIM Blocks LIBRARY HERE IN THE SITE.

ADDENDUM : the scale indicated at the bottom right of the paper size is wrongly named, read 1" to 1'.

You obviously missed this from the OP's first post: "plot scale to fit to paper".  It means he was not printing to any defined scale.  And if he meant this to be a metric drawing why would he specify an imperial scale?  Perhaps the OP needs to take a basic AutoCAD course.

Hello John, no I didn't miss the "plot scale to fit to paper", I have just added the "you plot on a little printer ( with margins ) and you don't loose the "scalable" paper print".
I thought that some extra informations ( due to : print from model space ) was needed.
The file is set on inches and the drawing measures and dimensions are in inches.
The imperial scales are maybe not so easy so I added the notion + eventually a help if needed.

Some of the dimensions appear to use metric and imperial notation such as 12,75".  Both a comma and the inch sign are used.
