Drawing Figures

Using the Construct Submenu

The [Construct] submenu provides you with the means to study various geometric theorems. In addition to tools for constructing a perpendicular bisector, perpendicular line, angle bisector, midpoint, intersection, parallel lines and a tangent to a curve, you can also translate, rotate, reflect, dilate, or transform a figure.

Each of the [Construct] submenu figures is also available on the toolbar.
