Welcome @klunker!

Just try Circle tangent to 3 circles, it will work with lines too.
investing less than half an hour into Search function can save hours or days of waiting for a solution

I can't seem to find circle inscribed.

As far as trying the tangent to 3 circles I swear I tried it a couple of days ago.
I couldn't select lines, just circles.

Tried it again today and it works.

Silly me.

Not new to CAD, been working on them since the late '70's or early '80's.
Can't say exactly when.
Back when they had to run on main frames.

Computervision Cadds 3 I think was the first one I used.
Was my full time job designing Large Automotive Progressive dies.

Thanks to both of you for your help.
