Scaling confusion= roadblock
(OP)
I can't draw a detail of part of a large assembly to a different scale. Also, I cannot get the large assembly onto the drawing size (it dwarfs it).

If you draw in model view you should then be able to place scaled views on the actual sheet.

The tutorial shows you how to create a draft file and views of a model......

Near the bottom of your screen you should have at least 1 tab - probably Sheet1. If you have the 2D Model tab click it to activate the 2D model view window.
If its not there, at top of screen on the View tab, Sheet Views section click on 2D Model to get the sheet tab to show.
Now you can draw whatever you like at full size in the 2D Model window.
When you have done your drawing go back to Sheet1 and on the Sketching tab, Drawing Views section click 2D Model.
This will switch you back to the 2D Model window but you will have a "cross-wire" type cursor. Now define the area covering the graphics that you want in your your drawing view (2 diagonal points of a rectangle).
You will then be taken back to the working sheet and a view rectangle will be attached to your cursor.
Place the view where you want it and adjust the scale to suit.
I'm sure this would be in the help - look for 2d model.

Also, when I try to add dimensions to a separate view of a part on the 2D Model the computer tells me the dimension, which is to the same scale as the whole assembly. I cannot set a different scale for the part.
RE: Scaling confusion= roadblock
In 2D the basic idea is that you draw at 1:1 in the 2D model sheet.
When you want to place a view on your drawing use the 2D model view button to place aview on the relevant working sheet.
You should then be able to scale this 2D model view to your hearts content.

I'm really confused by what you are doing.
The process for drawing on the 2D model sheet is quite simple - you draw at 1:1 then create a view of that on the working sheet at whatever scale you need to fit the drawing sheet size.

I am going to make hybrid drawings from S.E and by hand because too much time being lost with S.E. program.

Ensure you have tabs for Sheet1 and 2D Model shown at the bottom of screen, and Sheet1 is the active sheet.
At the top of screen click on Home tab.
On the Drawing Views group click 2D Model.
This will switch you to the 2D Model sheet with the cross-hair cursor and the graphics on there will be greyed out.
Drag a box around the graphics you want in the view.
You will now be switched back to Sheet1 with a view box dynamically attached to the cursor.
You can changed the scale now on the select menu, or just place it and change the scale later.
Place the view where you want it.
Annotate it as you want.
Job done.
Simples.
What I do notice is that your details next to the main view are not drawn at 1:1, but they should be.
The scaling is done on the Working Sheet, not the 2D Model sheet.
You will really need to read the help topics - search for "2D Model"
