How to use?

Returns "Invalid input"
What objects(or sub-objects) have pick?

Hi, currently the only supported objects are: Circle (non-collapsed primitive shape), Point helper, and two-point Line (two corner knots, again non-collapsed).

Thanx :) Excellent script. [+1]

Сan still, just need to create 3 objects "Point" of "Helpers" and pick them up.
