Line Endpoint Coincident To Perpendicular Line

[Carson_Greener]

How do you do all, I have a box made up of four lines. Inside of this box, I would like to have multiple horizontal lines that will resize with the box length wise. Normally, in Inventor, I would put a coincident constraint on the horizontal lines' endpoints to the vertical line. In autoCAD I'm having a problem where it only allows this constraint on endpoints. If I try to do it I receive the error, "Dimensional value or resultant geometry, is inconsistent with existing configuration". However, I can manually resize the line and it will "snap" to being on the vertical line (Green X) but if I try to move the vertical line left or right, the interior line does not follow.

Here it looks like all lines are connected.

Yet when I drag the vertical right line more to the right, the horizontal line does not follow. Yet I can manually extend the horizontal to it.

Giving me what I would normally call a coincident snap, but does not stay.

EDIT: Solved: Constraint endpoint of one line to some point of other line - Autodesk Community - AutoCAD

Works for this

Alrighty maybe a better question is this: Is there a way to make AutoCAD's drawing system more similar to Autodesk Inventor? For example, I make a box with five click. In inventor, these lines would automatically be coincident at the endpoints. However in CAD, they are not and I can separate them by default. Any way to make creating a .dwg more like sketching in an .ipt?

No.

But you can use the CONSTRAINTS AND PARAMETRIC TOOLS if that is what you really intended to ask

perhaps even use AutoCADMECHANICAL instead of just plain AutoCAD since that variant is probably closer in alignment to INVENTOR (and is free to install and use if you are a subscriber) https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/included-toolsets/autocad-mechanical

How about just a Hatch pattern of parallel lines, Associatively tied to the perimeter box?  Use the User-defined option, where you can give it the angle and spacing of the hatch lines directly, and set its origin [I presume] at a corner.
