Cylindrical profile probing

[pwuser909]

I need to find the profile of a cylinder used for roll forming.
I believe you can create a plane through the center of the cylinder, and then use a point probe.
When the probe passes over the plane, a point is registered.

Any ideas on how to do this, or any alternatives would be greatly appreciated.

Yes - I believe this is possible, Could be very useful for all kinds of projects.

I was told this could be done during the initial training. But was not shown as there were more basic things to learn
