# Edit Paths

{% embed url="<https://vimeo.com/851696971>" %}

The *Edit Paths* Tool enables you to change the [Path Types](/en/moasure-app/understand-path-types.md) originally measured.&#x20;

You can, for example, change a straight path to a trace path or an ignore path to a straight path. You can also create a circle or arc based on two paths and a point. \
\
Besides changing the type of path, you can also split and join paths. So if you have measured a whole measurement with, for example, 4 segments, in Straight Path, the Edit Paths will show them as one path. You can split the paths at each pause point to make them separately editable, so you can change one path to Trace Line and keep the others as Straight Line for example.

To change path types, follow the steps below:

1. Tap on **Edit** in the bottom navigation bar to open the *Edit Toolbar.*
2. Tap on **Edit Paths.**
3. The **Edit Paths** screen will now be shown. Each path will have a different colour so you know which paths are different from each other.&#x20;
4. Select a path of your choice by tapping on it.
5. Tap on **Change Path Type.**
6. Select a new Path Type to change the type of your selected path

To split paths or join paths, follow the steps below:

* Tap on **Edit** in the bottom navigation bar to open the *Edit Toolbar.*
* Tap on **Edit Paths.**
* The **Edit Paths** screen will now be shown. Each path will have a different colour so you know which paths are different from each other.&#x20;
* Select a point of your choice by tapping on it.
* Tap on **Split Path** or **Join Path.**
* The Paths will now be split or joined at the above selected point.
