Equidistant
The Equidistant tool evaluates any three points to determine whether or not the first point is
equidistant from the two remaining points. (If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a
segment, then the point lies on the perpendicular bisector of the segment.) The results are
reported in text.
Checking equidistant property
1.
Select Equidistant from the Check Property toolbox.
2.
Select any three points. (The first point selected is
checked relative to the two remaining points.)
A marquee box appears after the last selection.
3.
Move the pointer to move this box anywhere in the
drawing window, and click to display the result.
The text states whether or not the first point selected
is equidistant from the second and third points.
If you change the objects so that the property changes,
the displayed text changes accordingly.
