How is it possible to import osm file for editing into OCAD 9?

I'm beginner in using the software, thus any kind of help would be welcome.

I've always done mine by converting OSM to DXF, and then importing to OCAD9 - either write your own (because who doesn't write OSM->DXF converters in their spare time?) or something like this might do the job.

You can also try ogr2ogr, it does shp to dxf conversion. And osm can be exported as shp.

We should start a support group: "Things I have done to get data in and out of OCAD anonymous"

I'm a charter member of that one, going back to 0CAD 3 in 1992.

Hi, my name's Juffy.
(bored chorus) Hello Juffy.
It's been 3 weeks, 2 days since I last imported un-georeferenced data into an OCAD map.
(polite applause)
I haven't used the F9 tool in 2 years.
(more polite applause, badly stifled coughs of disbelief)
But yesterday I rewrote my CRT file for importing DXF data from OSM and....oh. Sorry.
(sound of tears from up the back, small voice) I feel your pain, man, I feel it!
