A measurement apparatus, system and method for measuring objects which is easily relocatable about the object is described. The system uses an articulated-arm coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and a laser tracker. A retroreflector for use with the laser tracker is located on the arm of the articulated-arm (CMM). A common coordinate frame of reference can be determined for the CMM and the laser tracker so that the CMM can be moved. Also, points hidden from the laser tracker can be measured for example with the CMM.
