Repositioning segments with midpoints
1. To reposition the segment after placing it on the work area, click the
Pointer tool ( )
2. Select the segment and drag it to a new location without changing
its orientation or length, or select one endpoint and drag it to a new
location.
If just an endpoint is moved and if the length of the segment
changes, then the midpoint is repositioned to remain at the middle
of the segment.
Creating a parallel line
You can create a parallel line with respect to any existing line on the
work area including the axes, and the side of any triangle, square,
rectangle and polygon.
1. From the Construction menu, select the Parallel tool ( ).
2. On the work area, click once on an existing line, segment, or axis.
This click identifies the reference line for the new parallel line you
are creating.
3. Move the cursor away from the reference line, axis, or segment.
Notice that a dotted line displays, representing the parallel line.
4. When the dotted line is in the desired position, click again to anchor
it on the work area.
