Hints

If the name you assign to an object is already used by another object, the name of this last object will be changed. In the construction above, change the name of point B to A. Note: Since a point A already exists, this point will be renamed to A₁. GeoGebra usually automatically resolves dependencies. This means that the name of the object is also changed in its definition. Note: Scripting involving objects that were assigned a new name need to be changed manually.
