how do I do a simple scan?

I am an experienced programmer but never used a scanning head, I currently got employed by a company with a nice scanning head and want to scan this big gear insert for profile but I am having a hard time figuring this out. I kind of thought it would be as simple as selecting the cad area to be scanned and clicking create but its proving to be not that easy... unless I am missing something, which I am sure I am...

Any scanning wizards out there?

Its a 5 day training class with not alot of simple answers. I would ask that they send to the Hexagon Facility outside of Chicago for the class. A linear Closed scan should work. So many variables on scans. Cad or NO Cad ? I will always verify all the cad model surface vectors are correct on the surfaces I am dealing with before I create the scan. Smallest RAD will determine your scan speed unless you want to speed it up and slow it down ( this adds a whole new level to what you are trying to do ). Do a little resarch on scanning here in the forum and the good old F1.
