Wouldn't matter either way as there is no way to tell Pcdmis to use "the shank" of a probe. All data comes from the ball of the probe, never from the shank.

Except for cylinder probes. I use them all the time
the cylinder probe is an option. when it calibrates it is supposed to calibrate the shank. that is the problem the OP is having, PC-DMIS is not seeing the fact that he has a cylinder probe selected. I would be suspect of the probe build in the software because of this fact.
I use cylinder probes, but very sparingly. They have their place for thin material.
BUT!
As Matt pointed out, there is really no way to qualify how far the part is up the probe. The farther you go up the shank, the more error you will see in your measurements. I don't think PC-DMIS does anything with the shank values from calibration.
Hi Matthew, I have two probe module SF and MF by using SF iam calibration master probe which will le me know the master sphere location than with MF Iam calibration cylinderical probe for shank qualification so that I will get the vector of the probe.
Please confirm me one the thing the shank vector of cylinderical probe after calibration will be coming in use if iam inspecting the sheet metal components?
