RE: Best fit circle through a series of points
General answer : make the circle tangent to 3 of your points.

The version of NX I am using is NX 6.0 4.3
RE: Best fit circle through a series of points
Not that the resulting curve will be created as a Feature meaning that it will be associative to the original points, which will make it very easy to edit the fitted curve by either adding or removing points in the future or by moving the original points which will result in a new 'best fit' curve.

I have managed what I needed, through using another package, but I appreciate the feedback so that I dont spend anymore time on this matter within NX 6.0
