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?

First, you have to set good parameters for the scanning head.
Long time ago, I started with basic scans, which are easy to use. Just be carefull to unselect "measure" (the cmm starts to scan when you click "OK", the crash is not far !!!!!).
You can try analog scan strategy on auto features, it will give you some training.... And then, go to linear, patch...
