how do I change the radius of a spline through points?

I am making a spline through a series of 3D points. In the spline options, I pick 'single radius' and the spline is made as a series of line segments connecting the points, with a corner radius that I assign between each pair of lines. The problem is, that pro-e limits me to a radius of no less than 1.5 inches. What if I want a radius smaller than that? Why the limit?
 
Sounds to me like the limit is particular to the geometry in question. Does the limit change if you modify the coordinates of the points (just as a test)?
 
Sounds like an accuracy problem to me too. There is no theoretical lower limit to the radius but there is an upper limit depending on the point positions.
 
Thanks, 3dlogix, changing the accuracy worked. Appreciate the help!
