Drawing Import Output Folder/Project Window

This window is the first step in the import process. It is used to specify the folder and/or the Dimension project that the imported drawings will be added to.
This windows can be used in three ways:

1. Import the drawings into an existing Dimension project.
2. Create a new Dimension project and import the drawings into that project
3. Import the drawings into a folder but don't add them to a Dimension project.
