# Auto Ignore

Auto Ignore is a tool that enables you to automatically remove unwanted points on a straight path.

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.

{% hint style="info" %}
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**](/en/moasure-one-and-moasure-2-series/settings/auto-ignore.md) guid&#x65;*.*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to manually remove points on a path, use the[ **Ignore Tool** ](/en/moasure-one-and-moasure-2-series/measure-and-edit/master-edit-tools/ignore.md)instead.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.moasure.com/en/moasure-one-and-moasure-2-series/measure-and-edit/master-edit-tools/auto-ignore.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
