How do I create characteristic for Dim 2.50 as shown the attachement

I think,polar caliper distance will be the best option.

I'd use a symmetry from the 3mm (full radius) feature and intersect it with the centerline (ID), then caliper distance.

This is a newer feature , but it shortcuts making aligments by allowing direct selection of "datum" features to level to.
I use it often.

I tried polar caliper, but I can not use it for my needs. I need to measure distance of two planes which are angled. I used normal caliper distance with help of rotated alignment.

Yes, Zeiss needs to provide an option for that. Pc-Dmis has a 3d measurement that allows planes to be measured in relation to the other without the need for building an alignment. It takes the vector from the second feature in selection.

Thank you all. Polar caliper distance won't compute the actual reading. I use Martin Jansky's method which works for me.

If they are two planes, why would you need to do a caliper distance? The picture above confuses me.

If they are two planes, Cartesian Distance will create the distance for you.

Make the ID XY zero, rotate 28 degrees, or just use the radius for your X+ planar.
Caliper distance ID (center) to circle (minimum). What am I missing?

He said it was two planes though. That picture doesn't look like two planes. I'm so confused.

I replied with solution of my problem - not the author. Will cartesian distance give me max - min - mid values? I think it will give me only distance from one corner of plane. I used alignment and caliper distance for sure results.

Cartesian creates a perpendicular distance from the center of the two planes.
