How to place points exactly on center line

I am trying to Probe a line right down the center of my part where the hits come in from the appropriate angles. I could make it from individual points or a line, but I don't have scanning capabilities. I have attached some pictures that should help you understand what I am going for. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yzBjycglU4qLi_0le3OZHJnm9spsQhV9?usp=sharing (let me know if you can't see them)

My main question is how to I put the points for a profile exactly on the centerline.

  • I'm new to the whole scan thing. I think my CMM is trying to do the continuous contact scanning that Matthew mentioned. It comes nice and slowly to where I want it to start probing then errors out upon contact. Is there something I need to switch to just get it to take a line of points?
