[HOT] Northern Uganda Tracing Exercise / Sprint

[Pierre Béland]

A third one.

Other then Copy/Paste and Resize objects, it is usefull to Rotate objects like the buildings.


To rotate an object, keep Ctrl-Upcase pressed,  place the mouse over the object  and move the mouse to rotate the object.

do this.  One more tip is that in josm select mode you can select a hut 
and hold down ctrl+alt while you click and drag the mouse to resize the 
hut.  This lets you make a different sized one to copy and paste.  With 
this method you can cover an area with lots of huts very quickly.
