[HOT] Northern Uganda Tracing Exercise / Sprint

[Pierre Béland]

There is a simple way to rapidly trace the many huts in JOSM. You first create a way with the appropriate attribute. And next, you copy it were you need to add other huts.


1. Create a circle way representing a hut :  Draw a hut, press shift-o to create a circle and add the attributes. Press Ctrl-C to copy this object.


2.Copy this way to create  new ways representing huts. Simply place the cursor over the location on the imagery of a hut to add and simply press Ctrl-V. Both the way and the attributes will be copied.
