Just for a point of reference, AutoCAD has "Paste to original coordinates".

Either 1 or 3 would be great. 2 would make it hard to take just a part
of a layer (duplicate, cut, delete rest, duplicate). Please close

if you implement this, and thanks in advance!

That would certainly be pretty straightforward to do.
Would people prefer
1. an additional paste operation ("Paste in same place" / "Duplicate
in same place")
2. a "Duplicate Layer" option on the context menu of the layer
3. A Preferences option to change the behaviour of paste

It pastes in the centre of the screen so that you don't have to search for the thing you pasted (which might be anywhere in the area you're working in), on the basis that you're trying to create something based on something similar, and you will want it near where you're working. I wasn't envisaging it would be used to replicate a data set. David ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

I've run into this bug during the US state borders import. My solution was to select what I wanted to c&p, zoom to selection, copy selection, switch layers, and paste. That should take care of things for now. Cheers, Adam ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] JOSM cut and paste between layers results in position change
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. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
