摘要

The invention relates to a hand-held measuring aid for use in a - having a station for position and orientation determination of the measuring aid - system for measuring an object surface. The measuring aid in this case has a body, visual markings, which are arranged in a defined spatial relationship forming a pattern on the body in a marking area, a measuring probe for the object surface, a control element arranged at a mouth of the body in a defined spatial relationship relative to the pattern an electronic circuit for generating a measurement triggering signal responsive to actuation of the operator control element; and wireless communication means for sending the measurement triggering signal to the station. According to the invention, the measuring aid is designed and designed in such a way and the body has such a first section and the first operating element is arranged on the first section of the body such that the measuring aid is provided in the measuring position for one-handed writing stick-like holding and the first section as the gripping area for at least thumb and forefinger (and in particular middle finger) of the user is used, and that in this measurement position, the control element with the cross-fingers or the index finger is operable.
