That would be nice.  It'd be easier than making a separate file of the
half-completed part, putting in a series of 0 CLEAR / upside-down view / 0
STEP / 0 CLEAR / right-side up view lines.

LDAO supports this, to one level (no sub-sub-steps).  Put the subassembly
in a separate DAT file, and reference it with a 0 SUB meta-command.  You
can do multiple sub-steps in a single regular step.
