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?

I doubt I can post anything; a 1mb image is too big for the server, apparently...

It crashes regardless of how I run the part, CTRL+E, CTRL+U, CTRL+Q, typically when I try to measure too small of an arc on an Auto Circle feature. The arc is less than 90°, sometimes less than 45, so I'm not entirely surprised it would have trouble calculating...
EDIT:
I will have to post or email something later, as I have work to do outside of that program, but I will get back to you on that
