F1 – File Menu

Set a point or points in motion along an object, as well as all objects logically depending on it.

Undo the last action. This functionality is available as long as the current figure does not contain more than 128 objects.

Explore a figure by replaying (forward or backward) each step in drawing the figure. You can also use this feature to undo multiple steps that you took to draw a figure.

F2 – Creation Menu

Draw a point at any location.

Draw a point on an object.

Draw an intersection point.

Draw a line from new locations or existing points.

Draw a segment from new locations or existing points.

Draw a circle from new locations or existing points.

Draw a triangle from new locations or existing points.

Draw a quadrilateral from new locations or existing points.

F3 – Construction Menu

Draw a perpendicular line 1) with respect to another object or 2) draw the line through a given point with respect to another object.

Draw a parallel line 1) with respect to another object or 2) draw the line through a given point with respect to another object.

Draw the perpendicular bisector of a line segment that you select or draw a line that is the perpendicular bisector between two points, when the line segment between the two points has not been drawn.

Select three points of a triangle to draw an angle bisector.

Draw the midpoint of two points or the midpoint of a line segment.

Draw a circle using the compass tool.

Build the locus of an object that depends on a point located on a segment, line, or circle.

F4 – Transformations Menu

Select the center point of symmetry, and then select the object. The new object is drawn.

Select the line or segment about which the object will be reflected. Select the object to reflect. The object is reflected.

Select either a line segment or two points, and then select the object. A new translated object is created.

Select the point around which an object will be rotated, and then select the object to rotate. Select the three points that determine the angle of rotation. A new rotated object is created.

Select the object, select the point, and then select the dilation factor. A new dilated object is created.

F5 – Appearance Menu

Hide or show an object.

Hide or show the axes.

Label points, enter comments, and enter numerical values.

Control the display of objects by toggling between solid and dotted outlines. Toggle the equation of a circle between the two forms.

Find the distance between two points; length of a line segment; perimeter of a triangle or quadrilateral; or the circumference of a circle.

Compute the area of a triangle, quadrilateral, or circle.

Measure angles (in degrees) determined by three points, the second of which is the vertex of the angle. The angle measured is the interior angle.

Find the slope of a line segment or line. If the slope is too large to be displayed numerically, ### is displayed instead.

Display coordinates of points and equations of lines and circles, in the underlying system of axes.

Perform calculations using values that are displayed on the drawing screen. You can add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers, as well as take the square root of a number.
