<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The reason I would do (2) above is that when you
paste a copied way JOSM pastes it into the centre of the viewport. If
you first centre the viewport on the existing way by "zoom the view to the
selection", then when you do the paste operation the new way is on top
of the existing way and you don't need to drag it too far to get it
parallel.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi David,<BR><BR>Thank you for the pointer. But I have
another stupid question. How do I paste the copied line next to the
original line. I am using JOSM. The command window indicates a
paste occurred but I have no idea where it is in the main window. I've
selected the node I would like the copied line to connect to but that doesn't
seem to do anything.<BR><BR>Thanks for the help.<BR>Mui<BR><BR><BR><BR>

[OSM-newbies] copy and paste motorway</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><BR></DIV>Hi All,<BR><BR>Is there a
way to copy and paste a motor way? I want to make all motor ways
outside of cities 2 different ways instead of a single line. Most
motorways are right next to each other so I would like just copy and paste
and move it over and edit the attributes.
