Extracted OSM data not "squared off" in ArcMap

Hi,

I have extracted data from openstreetmap.org to ArcMap which I have traced myself. However I noticed in the ArcMap viewer, the polygons are not "squared off" as they are in the openstreetmap web browser. It seems they revert back to the original points I clicked BEFORE hitting the square off key in openstreetmap.

I have also noticed that the point data is in fact in the correct positions. Am I missing something here? I just want to be able to extract the data and represent the information as it looks on openstreetmap.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

This sounds like a timing/sequence issue. The downloaded OSM data does not maintain a live connection back to the server. So when you download the data and then make (online) changes in the web browser you need to re-download the data to see the changes on your desktop.

You could either re-run the previous download by double-clicking the entry in your recorded geoprocessing history (you can find more information at http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/analyze/main/a-quick-tour-of-geoprocessing.htm) or you can execute the "Load OSM Diff files" tools as outlined here: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-osm-editor/wiki/Tools#load-osm-diff-files
