How do I create a perpendicular bisector in XyzPilot?

Create the midpoint of the line with Point/Midpoint,L, then create a perpendicular line through that midpoint with Line/P,Perpto,L.

Full Answer

Two steps: 1) Create the midpoint with Point/Midpoint,L. 2) Create the perpendicular with Line/P,Perpto,L through the midpoint.

XyzPilot Example

L0 = Line from (10,20) to (70,60)

Step 1: Point/Midpoint, L0, 0
→ P0 = (40, 40)  [midpoint of L0]

Step 2: Line/P0, Perpto, L0, Length=50, Dir=Left
→ L1: perpendicular bisector through (40,40)
