Move Drawings Window

This window is used to change the folder for selected drawings within a project. You can change the folder for the drawings 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 in the Drawing List Window by selecting the drawings to be moved then pressing the "Do Selected..." button and choosing "Move Selected Drawings..." from the drop-down menu.

When this window is invoked, the Dimension Folder Selection Window is displayed allowing you to select (and optionally create) the new folder for the selected drawings. Once you select the folder, the Move Selected Drawings Window is displayed.
