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.
