Hi all, Thought I would announce a new tool that is now available in Potlatch 2 that makes it easier to draw ways that share nodes with another way: "follow".
Here's how it works. Say you want to map a golf course that shares half its boundary with a landuse=industrial. 1) Start drawing the golf course 2) Click on one of the nodes of the industrial area, as normal 3) Click the next node in the industrial area, as normal. (Without this tool you would just continue doing this all the way around) 4) Press "F". The way is now automatically extended to the next node. 5) Keep pressing F as far as necessary. You could also use it for administrative boundaries that run along roads, beaches that run along coastlines, or any other place where ways are colinear. It's just a shortcut for drawing much faster. Obviously, follow the conventions that are in place in your local area - if your convention says that a park should not share nodes with a road that runs along its edge, continue to respect that.
