Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a measurement process of a coordinate measuring machine for measuring a measurement object, wherein the coordinate measuring machine comprises a controlling device and a feeler head having a feeler pin, and wherein a relative movement between the feeler pin and a surface of the measurement object is controlled by the controlling device. Furthermore, the surface comprises at least one actual section, which corresponds to a measurement object surface, and at least one virtual section. The present invention also relates to a corresponding coordinate measuring machine and computer program.
