Constructed Circle (gage pin simulation)

Sorry this has probably been brought up before, but I am wondering how to construct this circle (or cylinder) to simulate a gage pin? Either lines or planes and then either a cylinder or a circle (I am open to either 3D or 2D features).

Create an alignment which allows you to select a workplane representing the view of your screenshot.

Measure a line along the datum B edge.

Measure a line along the datum C edge.

Construct a circle, tangential to the two lines.

Note: you may need to experiment with the direction of the lines to get the circle in the correct quadrant, since there are four possible results.
