Constraint Bugbear

hi guys,

can anyone tell me if there is a way to get around this issue im having because its driving me nuts,

EQL_CONSTRAINT.png

ok so it should be simple. I’ve got a spacing of 120 with a 8mm gap between them, (these are constant)

there are 2 triangles in the bottom and top, all i want to do is make an equals constraint that states that 29.3 and 27.2 are in actual act the same number, I don’t even care what that number is,

Yes I know I can:

* draw line perpendicular to the inclined line from one corner

*draw a parallel line from the adjacent corner,

*sketch a reference line find the centre point,

*draw a perpendicular line and then

*set up a symmetrical constraint

Blah Blah Blah,

Or i could go into relations

*make some trig calcs

*set up a relation that equals half of the hypotenuse  and

*define a centre line

*and offset the bars from there.

But that all takes way longer than something that should be so simple, and as we all know time is money.

 

so anyone got an idea?
