A measurement method using a touch probe , comprising a step for controlling orientation of a tip ball of a stylus by rotating the touch probe to which the stylus is attached and which is axially fed, such that a contact position at which the tip ball comes into contact with an object to be measured remains the same when the tip ball comes into contact with a different position on the object , wherein the method further includes: a first step of axially feeding the tip ball along a forward direction of one axis (Y) and overshooting the tip ball after coming into contact with the object until axial feeding of the tip ball is stopped; a second step for controlling orientation of the tip ball by rotating the touch probe ; a third step of axially feeding the tip ball along a reverse direction of one axis (Y) and overshooting the tip ball after coming into contact with the object until axial feeding of the tip ball is stopped while a first contact position at which the tip ball comes into contact with the object to remains the same in the first and the third steps by performing the second step; a fourth step of axially feeding the tip ball along a forward direction of another axis (Z) and overshooting the tip ball after coming into contact with the object until axial feeding of the tip ball is stopped; a fifth step for controlling orientation of the tip ball by rotating the touch probe ; and a sixth step of axially feeding the tip ball along a reverse direction of another axis (Z) and overshooting the tip ball after coming into contact with the object until axial feeding of the tip ball is stopped while a second contact position at which the tip ball comes into contact with the object to remains the same in the fourth and the sixth steps by performing the fifth step, and wherein the first contact position differs from the second contact position. a first step of axially feeding the tip ball along a forward direction of one axis (Y) and overshooting the tip ball after coming into contact with the object until axial feeding of the tip ball is stopped; a second step for controlling orientation of the tip ball by rotating the touch probe ; a third step of axially feeding the tip ball along a reverse direction of one axis (Y) and overshooting the tip ball after coming into contact with the object until axial feeding of the tip ball is stopped while a first contact position at which the tip ball comes into contact with the object to remains the same in the first and the third steps by performing the second step; a fourth step of axially feeding the tip ball along a forward direction of another axis (Z) and overshooting the tip ball after coming into contact with the object until axial feeding of the tip ball is stopped; a fifth step for controlling orientation of the tip ball by rotating the touch probe ; and a sixth step of axially feeding the tip ball along a reverse direction of another axis (Z) and overshooting the tip ball after coming into contact with the object until axial feeding of the tip ball is stopped while a second contact position at which the tip ball comes into contact with the object to remains the same in the fourth and the sixth steps by performing the fifth step, and wherein the first contact position differs from the second contact position. <EOS>
