It failed for them as well. I'm private emailing you an installer with a hot fix from Spatial/ACIS that corrects the problem.

Tim -
SharkFX9_1193_SP3_R25_ESD is a major step forward in resolving the problems with the
Three Tangent Circle tool, but I'm guessing there's still work to be done. most importantly, the desired circle can now be drawn with the
Three Tangent Circle tool in both the cases in my project. that said, the "Vertex" (ie: tangent) can only be located/selected on one side of each circle ignoring the tangent point to the line. on the other side of one of the circles the only point that can be located/selected is labeled "Intersect"; on the other circle
nothing can be located/selected in the vicinity of tangent point. in the near term, the
Mirror tool can be used to establish the missing "Vertex" (aka: tangent) as required.
the seemingly anal preoccupation with selecting the exact "Vertex"/tangent point is being driven by the required future use of multiple curves dictated by the
Loft Surface tool. imposing common location and slope at the mating ends of all of the curve segments will hopefully avoid the problems encountered during a previous attempt at using trial & error derived approximate tangent points (ie: R to four places to the right of the decimal point).

Three Tangent Circle tool video with 1192 while the rest of us couldn't make it work?
