[OSM-talk] JOSM cut and paste between layers results in position change

[Simon Wood]

Hi,
I'm working on importing the trails from the Calgary Trails Project, at present I have one large '.osm' file containing 2220 ways and 72136 nodes. I could import this in one hit, but I feel that it would be unwise and some oversight is required.

Therefore I was thinking that I could use JOSM to open the local '.osm' file, find an interesting place and download the appropriate OSM data to a different layer. Once I have confirm that this particular area is OK I could 'copy and paste' between layers.

This is not possible because a paste displaces the way/node by some random (?) amount.

Q). Is there some what to duplicate a way/node on another layer without this displacement?


Is there another way I could achieve the same partial upload?

Cheers,
Simon.
