      One of the options for the probe tool is to use a coordinate system. For each desired probe point, create a coordinate system whose origin is at the desired probe location. After creating the first one, you may be able to save time by duplicating it and adjusting one coordinate value to change the origin. Insert a probe for temperature or the desired result, set the Location Method in the Details to Coordinate System, and for Location pick the desired coordinate system.
