A method of measuring an object with a coordinate positioning apparatus, comprises the following steps: placing the object within the working volume of the coordinate positioning apparatus; measuring the object with a workpiece contacting probe to create measurement data of the object, the measurement data being collected at multiple probe forces; for at least one location on the surface of the object, determining a function or look up table relating the measurement error data to the probe force; for said at least one location on the surface of the object, using the function or look up table to determine the measurement data corresponding to zero probe force; and outputting the measurement data corresponding to zero probe force as the measurement of the object.
