Autofeature line screwing me up_Anyone else see this?

Using PC DMIS 2022.1. (Issue started for me with this version of PC DMIS. Was not a problem with previous versions)

I have a lot of turned parts where an arc intersects with a flat plane & I have to report the diameter of where it breaks out. To do this, I intersect an "autofeature line" with an "autofeature circle" to get an intersection point. Do it in 6 places. Construct the 6 points together to get a circle. (Yes I have an alignment that recalls startup with all 6DOF properly constrained and yes I am using correct workplanes while measuring & constructing). I have done this for years and it has always worked. Slight smile

When I do this in 2022, PC DMIS complains about a math error and it won't do the construction. Disappointed

To get around this, I have to delete the autofeature lines & replace the lines with autofeature points and then construct a line through the pnts and then use THAT to create the intersections in each place. Alien

Is pretty annoying..is causing me to change programs that have been "Validated" for years. Is anyone else having issues using "autofeature line" ??Frog
