There are certain things that I'd like to be able to create once and then
reuse many times in various different models.  The most obvious example is
a minifig.  I want to build him once in a sitting position and once in a
standing position, and then load him into various different models.  Then
for a given model, I want to swap out specific parts or change colors of
various parts.

The best thing would be to work with MPD - Submodels.

Once you would like the load the minifig you could import the minifig.dat
into the project (Multipart/Import model) ... this will create a sub-model
used the same way as any other part - but you can modify it!

Thanks for the answer, but that still doesn't solve the main problem I'm
having.  I'm trying to build instructions for various models, and I
typically put in a minifig or two in the last step.  I'd like them to show
up along with the vehicle.

Is there any way to display both the main model and a submodel at the same time?
