I have 2 non-concentric arcs (can be circles) and I want to create a 2 points at minimum distance.
In V4, I used Point>Intersec for this.

thanks

Try using measure between function.
Select "edge only" if they are circles, otherwise it will grab the center points.
Then select "create geometry" at the bottom of the measure between pop-up.
 
PeterGuy - I couldn't get your method to work with the GSD workbench.

I tried it with circles in two different sketches, and I tried it with two 2D circles in the same working support plane.

How did you do it?
