points can be on a single object, on separate objects, or on the work area.
1. From the Construction menu, select Midpoint. (In the Graphs application, click
Geometry > Construction > Midpoint.)
2. Click a point or location to define the first point.
3. Click a second point or location to complete the midpoint.
