Align rectangle to mid point of another rectangle's side?

Is it possible to quickly align the side of one rectangle's to the midpoint of another rectangle's side?

I mean mid point of one side of rectangle A should be placed upon the mid point of one side of rectangle B

Try a Coincident constraint between the two midpoints.

THANK YOU it was that easy?

I just wasted about an hour searching for the solution 😞

 

BTW, I could see that coincident constraint, but the little pop up shows circles, and the verbiage also says circles, so I assumed it will not work for straight lines! LoL

Coincident will basically place any point on an arc or line. It will move along the arc or line unless you specifically place it on an end point, mid point. For instance, you can draw a line, and then place a circle. Use the coincident and use the center point of the circle and place it on the line. The circle will now be associated to the line, not just the points. You can even drag the circle away from the line completely and it will still be associated to it. Is a pretty useful constraint.
