is there a way to convert an existing measured circle into individual points? i have a profile callout for a circular feature and was hoping to not have to re-create it just for this callout
convert circles to individual points

You can create a cast point of the circle then edit the cast point as below. You will need to create a cast point for every point in the circle (5 point circle = 5 cast points).
PNT1 =FEAT/POINT,CARTESIAN,NO
THEO/<3.3606,-1949.6263,-2020.8902>,<0,0,-1>
ACTL/<3.3606,-1949.6263,-2020.8902>,<0,0,-1>
CONSTR/POINT,CAST,CIR1.HIT[1]PNT100 =FEAT/POINT,CARTESIAN,NO
THEO/<3.3606,-1949.6263,-2020.8902>,<0,0,-1>
ACTL/<3.3606,-1949.6263,-2020.8902>,<0,0,-1>

If you programmed to the correct basics, you should just be able to ask for the profile of the circle. Double check that it's taking all the individual hits by turning on TEXT.
IIRC, as soon as you add a second feature it stops looking at the hits and looks at the derived centers.
If it doesn't work, and your nominals are correct, create a scanset out of the hits like such:
Code:CIR1 =FEAT/CONTACT/CIRCLE/DEFAULT,CARTESIAN,IN,LEAST_SQR THEO/<-0.03,-0.052,-0.0669>,<0,0,1>,0.1587 ACTL/<-0.03,-0.052,-0.0669>,<0,0,1>,0.1587 TARG/<-0.03,-0.052,-0.0669>,<0,0,1> START ANG=0,END ANG=0 ANGLE VEC=<1,0,0> DIRECTION=CCW SHOW FEATURE PARAMETERS=NO SHOW CONTACT PARAMETERS=YES NUMHITS=100,DEPTH=0.0787,PITCH=0 SAMPLE METHOD=SAMPLE_HITS SAMPLE HITS=0,SPACER=0 AVOIDANCE MOVE=NO,DISTANCE=0.3937 FIND HOLE=DISABLED,ONERROR=NO,READ POS=NO SHOW HITS=NO SCN1 =FEAT/SET,CARTESIAN THEO/<-0.0199,0.0151,0.0039>,<0,0,1> ACTL/<-0.0199,0.0151,0.0039>,<0,0,1> CONSTR/SET,BASIC,CIR1.[SIZE=14px][B]HIT[1..CIR1.NUMHITS][/B][/SIZE],,
