Claim One:
1. A method of determining three dimensional coordinates of an object, the method comprising: determining a first set of three dimensional coordinates for a plurality of points on the object with a scanner device, the scanner device being configured to emit and receive a structured light for determining the first set of three dimensional coordinates of points on a surface; accessing with a processor an inspection plan for the object, the inspection plan including a plurality of features to be inspected with a remote probe; mapping with the processor the plurality of points onto a computer aided design model; associating with the processor the plurality of features with the plurality of points mapped onto a computer aided design model; projecting a visible light with the scanner device proximate a first feature of the plurality of features; directly contacting a probe tip on the remote probe to at least one first point on the first feature on the object; determining a first position and orientation of the remote probe with the scanner device, the remote probe having a plurality of illuminated lights, the plurality of illuminated lights haring at least three non-collinear and non-coplanar illuminated lights; and determining with the scanner device a second set of three dimensional coordinates of the at least one first point on the first feature on the object; scanning a machine readable symbol with the scanner device and automatically retrieving the inspection plan from memory based at least in part on the machine readable symbol.
