# Auto Ignore

As you set down your Moasure device throughout a measurement at 6 to 8 second intervals, the Moasure app records a point – a data coordinate with X, Y and Z values. 

The Auto Ignore tool enables you to "ignore" or disable points along the same plane. Once a point is ignored, the Path is connected between the points before and after the ignored point, giving you a single, straight line and its corresponding measurement.

To Auto Ignore points, follow these steps:

1. On your measurement diagram, tap on the shape you'd like to edit
2. Tap **Edit** in the bottom toolbar.
3. Scroll along and tap **Auto Ignore**

To unignore a point, simply tap on the point and then tap **Unignore** in the **Edit** menu.

If you want to automatically ignore points for all measurements without following the steps above for each measurement, you can set Auto Ignore as a global setting. You can learn more about this in the [**Auto Ignore Setting**](https://docs.moasure.com/en/moasure-app/settings/auto-ignore) *guide.*

If you want to manually remove points on a path, use the[ **Ignore Tool** ](https://docs.moasure.com/en/moasure-app/master-edit-tools/ignore)instead.
