2D Feature on 3D CAD File

Hello!
Running PC-DMIS 2018R2
----------------------------------------
I have a 3D CAD file (STEP) that I need to get a corner radius from. The way it's drawn, PC-DMIS wants to draw a circle in Y, along a neckdown, whereas I need a circle in Z, where the neckdown meets a land.
I am unable to "point and click" for this; it wouldn't be an issue, as I could probably math everything out, but PC-DMIS crashes every time I try to use a Vision circle (for whatever reason) but works if a create a 2D Profile, a Feature Set, and construct a circle from that.

I'm trying to make sure my nominals for the scan are correct, and PC-DMIS won't just snap to that feature.
Any suggestions?

Are you able to grab a CAD edge from another area and adjust the nominals that way?

When you say it crashes, what do you mean? When you select the auto circle? When you create the feature? When you try running it?

InspectorJester Does it crash in full execution or when you do a CTRL+E? How small of an arc? Can you post a snippet of the CAD and area in question, presumably with the auto feature dialog box open so I can see the target hits?
