I have a part that has a radius on both ends. How do I set this up to measure the overall length between the two radii

his picture shows the far end going to about only the center though. sometimes you have to close and reopen to get the arrows to correlate.

I believe it should be Max/Max in this case, but if it's not giving you correct nominal try minimum for one. Make sure arrow correlate after closing characterstic.

 Change the front to minimum. Leave the back to maximum. The min and max values are from the features in their respective axis. So you would want the minimum Y coordinate of the front feature, and the maximum Y coordinate of the back feature.

 I believe it appears that way based on the viewing angle. The back is at maximum like it should be... but I do agree the Caliper Distance can get wonky visually sometimes, forcing a close and reopen.

Unless there is some specific view/alignment that the drawing dictates, I think that the Polar Caliper Distance would be better suited for this.

Evaluating these features as cylinders rather than circles will provide a defendable result. Your characteristic shall be a cartesian distance.

 Cartesian distance is a center to center measurement, not what is needed here.
