Change pathsUpdated a year ago
You can change paths while you measure or once your measurement is complete. If you still don’t know what a path type is and what they’re used for, we highly recommend you checking out this article before you continue reading.
Right, now that you know what a path type is and what they’re used for, let’s find out how to change them while measuring or after a measurement is complete.
- While measuring
Wait until the device is completely stationary, ready to capture a point;
Once the LED turns green (meaning you can now keep moving), tap on Paths;
Choose the Path type you would like to use for your next point to be captured;
You can start moving again.
Reminder: you can only change path types when you are at a ‘Pause Point’ and the device is completely stationary.
- After a measurement is complete
Although it’s advisable to change paths while measuring, you can still do this after a measurement is complete by using the Edit Path Tool. This will allow you to edit any path along the route.
Tap on Edit;
Tap on Edit Paths (this will automatically select all the Paths);
Alternatively, you can Split Paths by clicking on each coordinate. This will separate the Paths.
Select the Path you would like to change;
Tap on Change Path Type;
Choose the Path type you would like to change to. E.g. from ‘Straight Line’ to ‘Trace Line’.
