Size dimension UAME not matching max_insc/min_circsc diameter

I may be misunderstanding something but does anyone know why the ASME Y14.5 UAME size often doesn't match the maximum inscribed diameter on IDs and the minimum circumscribed diameter for ODs? Conceptually I'd assume they would be the same. The run below is from version 2018 R2 SP 14, changing from 2D to 3D circle doesn't change the result at all

  • Dimensioning a least squares circle did not change the result from the size dimension. If I turn off the filter and outlier removal the size dimension UAME matches the feature max_insc size, turning it back on causes the size dimension to change back but doesn't change the size of the constructed circle. So it seems the constructed circle size may be the problem, I'm not sure why it doesn't update as well
