Unless you use Pitch in the auto circle to follow the threads spiral/helix.
BTW, don't make the typical "rookie mistake" and enter the pitch in backwards. Always remember the Right-Hand Rule: With your right hand thumb pointing in the POSITIVE direction of the Z-axis (or whichever is your axial direction), a POSITIVE rotation follows in the direction that your other 4 fingers are pointing. I've seen more programs with the pitch entered backwards than ANY other common CMM programming error...
A "shank" probe will only give you the location of the minor diameter. I have watched thread locators pulled to one side, for a variety of reasons. How would one check an 0-80 thread using auto-circle/pitch, or similar threads. Engineers truly need to stop attaching unrealistic tolerances to thread locations. My favorite is when they attempt to apply MMC to a threaded hole. Good luck with THAT one.

and yet it continues to happen, day in, day out. <facepalm>
