MDL input

In MDL input, Plant Modeller inspects the header record tags "ver" and "org". If the source project is different than the current project and the user is importing the MDL as a module, the user is prompted whether to reset the object ID numbers. This is to avoid problems in case the user is accidentally using the Module command instead of the MDL command to import an MDL file that has been generated from another project.

Object ID numbers are unique and valid in one project only. When MDL is imported from another project, the ID numbers should always be reset. The reason why the user is prompted is to deal with cases where the project name has been changed and MDL files in it still refer to the project using the old name.
