Using the Script Tools: Click on the Script Tool icon and drag to the desired script. The tool is now live and ready to select points in the appropriate selection order, as described in the table below.

Point Selection Order Table

Object/Transformation/ Operation	Description	Selection Order
Line	Through Two Given Points	Either Order
Segment	Through Two Given Points	Either Order
Perpendicular Bisector (Perp_bis)	Of Segment Given the Segment's Two Endpoints	Either Order
Midpoint	Of Segment Given the Segment's Two Endpoints	Either Order
Perpendicular (Perpend)	To Segment and through Point Given the Point P and the Segment Endpoints Q & R	P, then Q and R
Critical Parallels (Critpars)	To Segment and through Point Given the Point P and the Segment Endpoints Q & R	Q, then R, then P
Circle	Given Two Points, the Center P and a Point Q on the Circle	P, then Q
Copy of Segment (Copy_seg)	Given the Two Endpoints P and Q of the Original Segment and One Endpoint R of the Constructed Segment	P, then R, then Q
Reflection	Of a Given Point P through a Line Given Two Points Q and R on the Line	Q & R, then P
Measure Angle	Given Three Points, the Vertex P and Points Q and R on each Side	P, then Q & R
