A system for measurement of spatial coordinates comprising a probing tool and a main measuring unit, wherein said probing tool comprises a reflective object element, observation mechanism located in a known position and orientation relative to said reflective object element and capable of observing targets; and wherein said main measuring unit comprises a distance measuring device capable of measuring a distance from said device to said reflective object element; a mechanism constructed and adapted to direct a measuring beam from said distance measuring device to said reflective object element; a direction determining mechanism constructed and adapted to determine a direction of a measuring beam; at least two targets located in known positions relative to said distance measuring device, whereby the orientation of said reflective object element can be determined from observations of said targets by said observation mechanism.
