Abstract:
Method for determining the position of a point, in which use is made of a holder (1) with a measuring point (6) and at least three reference points (2, 3, 4) not in a straight line, where said measuring point (6) is placed against the point which is to be measured, the position of said reference points (2, 3, 4) is then measured, and on the basis of the position of said reference points (2, 3, 4), the position of said point is calculated, whereby the position of said measuring point (6) is determined by holding the latter at a fixed point, rotating the holder (1) in various positions, then measuring the positions of the reference points (2, 3, 4) for at least two different positions of the holder (1), and calculating the relative position of the measuring point (6) with respect to the reference points (2, 3, 4) from the measured positions of said reference points (2, 3, 4).
