Create feature to show Bolt Circle (BC) from a boundary?

I have 4 radii at corners of a square.
The blueprint wants the BC of the boundary, not from the centerlines.
Is there a way to create a BC using the boundary (Outside tangents of each radius)? (Centerline BC is easy).
I have it now in a Result element.

I am not understanding well. Want to measure tangential radius of corner? Use circle and recall all points from corrnes with tantgential to obtain that.

The attached image shows the where the dimension should calculate from, the boundaries of the radii.
See red outline.

I am not understanding well. 🤣

Thank you.
I'm not sure why my brain was stuck on using "Recall" only.

I mean you could likely use Recall to get a bolt circle as you already thought, then in a result element add the Radius of the corners x2 to the Bolt circle.

Slightly less proper. More stable. Differences in the Results will be very small.

Center of,more likely less than 90°, part of circle will result in an unstable position. For machined part with good surface it can be more stable than on casted or forged part.

Or if you will lock radius, then it can give stable results.
