Well, all this messing around and I'm learning stuff. Also found a bug.
You should be able to recreate the problem with the files attached to my OP.
Open the mpd.
Open the ldr.
Switch to the mpd. Create a new submodel.
Drag the Front_Tank ldr into it.
This is where I learned that double clicking that model actually takes you back to the original that you have open to edit it. The submodel is actually just a representation of the ldr just as a submodel is in an mpd.
That's the learning.
The bug is this: Now that you have things in that state, switch back to editing Front_Tank.ldr.
Click File, Close. Crashes every time.
ps. The reason I was trying to close the original while I had it open in the mpd was I assumed it might break the link and leave just the parts inside the submodel so that I could then insert that submodel into the main model. I was wrong.
