Okay, how do I accomplish this task? I drew the outline of Wolf Lake by hand quite a while ago. I also imported the water features from CanVec as well. Now there are three ways defining the lake. One is the way that I drew by hand. The second is one imported from Canvec which is a simple outline with the tag natural:water. The other half of the lake (split across a CanVec tile boundary) is a multipolygon outer relation because there's an island in the lake. I have tried removing the ways that define the split in the tile, and join the two remaining halves. I can't do that because there's a tag conflict. I removed the tags from the natural:water side, and tried to join the remaining untagged way to the outer relation, but it does not want to stay joined together. One would think that you should be able to simply join the untagged way to the way defining the outer relation, completing the circular way.
This should be the simple part, I would assume. The situation where each half of the lake is an outer relation with inner relations would make the process more complex as you would somehow have to make the inner relations on one of the outer relations move over to become inner relations to the other outer relation, while making only one of the outer relations define the whole lake. Having the CanVec data available is excellent, but stitching areas back together where they have been artificially split at a tile boundary is a bit of a bear for me. Anyone of the CanVec import experts out there have a bit of a tutorial lesson for me?
