[[JOSMImage(downloadprimitive,link=,48,middle,margin-right=20)]] ''Keyboard shortcut:'' **`Ctrl+Shift+O`**

Load one or several [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object OSM objects] ([[JOSMImage(data/node)]] node, [[JOSMImage(data/way)]] way or [[JOSMImage(data/relation)]] relation) from the [#DataSource OSM API server] either in the current data layer or in a new data layer.  The downloaded data will contain the way nodes for ways and optionally any referrers (ways or relations that reference the downloaded object). \\
**Note**: Only the referrers of the downloaded object itself are downloaded, not the referrers for any of its children (way nodes).

The following dialog is displayed:

[[Image(DownloadObjectDialog.png,link=)]]

You can choose the type of objects ([[JOSMImage(data/node)]] [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#Nodes node], [[JOSMImage(data/way)]] [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#Ways way], [[JOSMImage(data/relation)]] [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#Relations relation] or mixed) to download and enter their ID. Clicking on **Download object** starts the download.

== Multiple objects ==#Multipleobjects
* Use a comma separated list for several **objects of the same type** if the type is already specified in the drop down list above, e.g. `1,2,3`
* Use comma separated list with the first letter of the type for **mixed objects**, e.g. `w123,n68,n211,r7`.
* Use ranges, like `w10-20`


== Check boxes ==
* You can choose whether or not any referrers (parent relations and ways) are to be downloaded:
 * if **Download referrers** is selected, any referring objects are downloaded
 * if **Download referrers** is not selected, no referrers are downloaded

* You can choose whether or not any relation members are to be downloaded:
 * if **Download relation members** is selected, any relation members are downloaded
 * if **Download relation members** is not selected, no members are downloaded

* You can control whether the data is loaded into the current or in a new layer:
 * if **Separate layer** is selected, the data is loaded into a new layer
 * if **Separate layer** is not selected, the data is merged into the current data layer

 If no data layer does exist, a new data layer is always created. 


== Data source ==#DataSource
The OSM API server specified in [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Connection Connection Settings] is the data source used here.
