Sorry for the question, what is polar distance based on and what does it calculate? Does anyone have an answer?

2d polar distance is the straight-line 2d distance between two features that lies on a Datum plane. Think about measuring the distance between two ends of a slot (but the slot is not normal to any axis). 

3d polar distance is the straight-line 3d distance between two features. Think about a sphere to sphere distance
