Cross Hair Gage Example
To measure the width of a part:
Ensure that the part is physically square on the inspection machine. See "Creating an Alignment".
Open the Probe Readout window (Ctrl + W).
From the Probe Toolbox adjust the magnification and lighting as needed. See "Probe Toolbox: Magnification tab" and "Probe Toolbox: Illumination tab".
From the Gage tab of the Probe Toolbox, select the Cross Hair option from the drop-down list.
Move the machine over the left edge of the part. When the machine is close, you can optionally drag the crosshair to the exact edge using the mouse.
On the Gage tab,
click the Zero Readouts DXYZ button 
to zero the DX, DT,
and DZ values.
Move the machine over the right edge of the part. Again, drag the crosshair to the exact edge using the mouse.
Read the X value from the Probe Readout DX value.
