Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method of optimizing measurement paths being performed by execution of computerized code by a processor of an electronic device, the method comprising: (a) receiving information of a product and information of measurement elements of the product from a measuring machine, wherein the information of the product comprise a coordinate system of the product, and the information of the measurement elements comprises a name allocated to each of the measurement elements, and positional coordinates of each of the measurement elements; (b) analyzing one or more measurement points for each of the measurement elements according to the positional coordinates, and generating relation arrays, each of the relation arrays storing the name and the one or more measurement points of one measurement element; (c) selecting a measurement point from the measurement points of all the measurement elements, the selected measurement point being nearest to the origin of the coordinate system, computing distances between the measurement points from the selected measurement point using the relation arrays, and creating an order for the measurement points according to the computed distances to generate a first ordered array; (d) generating an optimal measurement path of the measuring machine taking measurements on the product according to the first ordered array; and (e) storing the optimal measurement path into a non-transitory storage medium of the electronic device.
