Claim One:
1. A method for measuring a part using an articulated measurement arm having a measurement head provided with a pointing member and at least one joint fitted with at least one rotary encoder, comprising: focusing on a first measurement point on the part, the measurement arm adopting a first measurement position; moving the measurement arm to a second measurement position to focus on a second measurement point of the part in order to capture a geometric feature of the part on the basis of the measurement points; determining a degree of precision of the capture of the geometric feature undertaken as a function of the first and second positions of the measurement arm; and after a measurement has been taken between two points of which the theoretical relative positions are known, providing movement instructions to the operator to enable determination of a path of the articulated measurement arm between the first measurement point and the second measurement point that provides a maximum degree of precision of the capture of the coordinates of the measurement points.
