i was measuring an oring groove that by calipers measured 0.645 the arm measured a plane to plane measurment of 0.234 i measured a plane at the top of the groove and a plane at the bottom of the groove and measured the distance between the two in 3d and that is number i got however all other dimensions i took using the same set up and alignment came out correct .
Do you have to pick 3D then check the shortest distance box ? We had a similar problem and that seemed to have fixed it.
shortest distance only alters the distance algorithm for line-to-line measurements. it does nothing for plane-to-plane.
check out the Distance Dimension Help Menu for more info. it took me about 3 months to really get a handle on 1d vs 2d vs 3d dimensioning, your mileage may vary.
