Measuring perpendicular to face with measuring tool

I'm having trouble measuring from a surface of one part to ahole in another part. I need the distance perpendicular to the faceto the hole. I tried it with SP 2.1 and SP 3.0. The face is notlined up to the XYZ coordinates as you can see in the picture.

I talked to SW tech support and they couldn't do it either. Wetried the "projected on" feature and that didn't do a thing. As awork-around they suggested making a 2D. I'd like to avoid making2D's just to check dimensions if possible.

Any suggestions?
