Abstract
A method for digitizing drilling jigs comprising: insertion in a jig hole of a feeler pin provided with a rounded-shaped head having the same diameter as the hole, such feeler pin being connected to a measuring system suitable for finding its position continuously. The method includes storing of the coordinates of a point on the hole axis nearby the surface of the jig; deep insertion of the feeler pin and finding of the coordinates of a second point on the hole axis nearby the back; and calculation of the axis inclination through the coordinates of the two points found.
