Auto Centermarks Work, but not Circular or Linear Ones?

Not Orthogonal..JPG

I seem to have found this strange bug. I have this part that was in the part studio at a weird angle. So, I created a view orthogonal to the part's main face, and used that view in the drawing. It populated auto centermarks on all the bolt holes, so the drawing view obviously recognizes them at perpendicular. But, when I try to make the centermarks using the circular centermark feature, it suddenly thinks the face is no longer normal to the view. Frame of reference, those bolts 100% live on the same bolt circle and are concentric to the part itself, so it's not like there's something weird about the part itself. I have to imagine it's related to the fact that I made the orthogonal view to the part, and something about the rounding with that "angle" compared to the ground-truth coordinate frame causes one to work and not the other, or some other weird interaction. Either way, very strange. Wonder if there's a way to fix it. Either way, guess I'll stop using the custom view feature and instead deal with just manually rotating the views by whatever angle…
