1) You have failed to provide the relevant information needed for us to help you. We get that it's an odd shape, with no flats inside or out, but you then talk about picking up on diameters and rotating to them. WHERE ARE THESE DIAMETERS? If there's basically a true cylindrical hole in each end then what you're asking won't make any difference and a 3d distance from pierce-point to pierce-point is going to give you the right answer.
2) You go on to give a very verbose description of what you've done and how you've tried to align it - perhaps posting your alignment code might have been more useful. There's some experienced people here and we can tell a lot if we can see the whole picture (XYZ's and ijk's).
3) You say repeatedly 'it's really simple' yet you're here asking how to do it. I again reiterate that I think your description of this problem (and the nomenclature you're using) is both confusing and lacking.
4) You're being rude and condescending to people who repeatedly dedicate their time to help people.
