My understanding is that it doesn’t exist as such (if you are thinking like components as in Sketchup). The only way that I know to do this is to save each part as an independent drawing then import them into your master.

The downside to this is there is no linkage between the two. Changes to one part do not automagically affect the others.

This has been alluded to, but has yet to be implemented.
