Change Project Folder Window

This window is used to change the folder for a project. You can change the folder for a project before or after you have moved the drawing files. If you do it before, the drawings will be moved for you. This window is invoked from the "Move..." button in the Project Properties Window or from the context menu in the Project List Window.

When this window is invoked, the Dimension Folder Selection Window is displayed allowing you to select (and optionally create) the new project folder. Once you select the folder, the Change Project Folder Window is displayed.
