Please look after:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOS … s/CADTools

This plugIn should be modified and expanded in future.
We ask for feedback.

Thanks for Anamaria and her collegues from Brasov, Romania for this development.

Re: CAD Tools JOSm- PlugIn

Great work, this plugin looks very useful!

Here is some feedback:
* I would prefer a non-modal dialog window, so you can change the selected objects on the map without having to close the window.
* Some images for the buttons are always nice.
* When testing the features, I noticed, that you cannot undo the actions made by the plugin. This is a serious problem - JOSM does not support direct change of the primitives in a Dataset. Instead, all modifications have to be send as Command objects via Main.main.undoRedo.add(...).
* It's a little surprising that the 'Building generalization' button operates on the entire Dataset and not just the current selection. This could lead to interesting results when a novice user aligns an entire city and uploads the results...
* I don't know anything about CAD, but is 'Building generalization' a good description for what this feature does? From the name, I would have expected that it simplifies the shape of buildings or something like that. Instead it aligns buildings to the nearest road.
* The ellipse feature is quite nice, I will use it for sport stadiums!
