Hi d3, yeah the "ImportPart" command that includes the orientation mechanism is new for v2, also there are some demo videos of it here:

But the just plain "Import" command is available in v1.1, that will allow you to merge in a previously saved part but then you will have to use stuff like the Move or Rotate commands to position it.
