In a machine tool having an on-board measuring machine and controlled by a numerical controller, a method of measuring a shape of a workpiece presets a reference point for temperature drift correction on the workpiece, moves a probe to the reference point, resets a coordinate system of the probe to correct a temperature drift of the probe, and carries out shape measurement of the workpiece along a first measuring path. Next, the method moves the probe to the reference point again, resets the coordinate system of the probe to correct a temperature drift of the probe again, and carries out shape measurement of the workpiece along a second measuring path. Thereafter, similar temperature drift correction is carried out for each measuring path until the shape measurement of the workpiece is carried out along the last measuring path.
