I also don't know whether thnere is a more direct way or not. In case I need to select a bunch of ways I do like this: 1) Use rectangle to select area containing all desired ways (including all nodes. Hold alt-key to select ways that have nodes inside selection) 2) use search feature to search for "type:node" and remove from selection 3) in case selection contains relations, repeat step 2 with relations Now you have a selection containing only the ways Stephan _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
