[OSM-newbies] Another tagging , question

[Ian Haylock]

So, easy and so obvious, once someone tells you :-)

When I started using JOSM I would select each way I created seperately, and then add the tags.
Took me ages to realise I could <Shift> <select> all the ways and edit all the tags in one go.

Must be getting too old :-)

Cheers, Ian

Make sure you have the "selection list window open" (one of the  
buttons on the left).
Drag select around the problem nodes, which of course selects the  
segments and ways too...
Go to the "selection list window" on the right, scroll down until you  
see nodes, click on the top one, then scroll down some more, shift  
click on the bottom one, then click the "Select" button (next to  
"Reload" and "Search" in the selection list window).
You should then have selected just the nodes, click on the property  
that you want to remove in the property list window then click the  
"Delete" button below.

Hope that helps.
