The WSDL design editor contains no way to add an import (that I can find). In order to add an import I must use the outline view or source editor.

Lawrence, you're right, currently one can only add a service, port type and binding from the graphical view. Adding a message or import can only be done in the outline view or in source mode.

I think this is consistent with what I see as a simplification drive to not provide figures for messages or imports in the graphical view.

I am going to mark this as an enhancement. We could add menus to add imports and messages from the graphical view but I'm not sure we want to go back to showing them as figures on the canvas.
