Mixing Rotate and Vertical Constraint

Hello, I have a block that is essential a bracket. The left and right ends of the bracket need to be constrained vertically. The center line of the bracket that connects the ends needs to be rotatable. If the center line is rotated, the midpoints of the left and right ends should still be at the ends of the center line.

 

I have the ends constrainted vertically and NOT included in the rotation. They don't stay vertically constrained. How can I accomplish this? Thanks

The constraints don't help.  Delete them.

Thanks, this works. Downside is that the stretch function doesn't really work the same so the blocks are difficult to edit with those points added. It looks really good thoguh

The stretch should work fine provided you remove the vertical line from the stretch and add the point parameter.  After trying that, if it still does not work correctly, repost the block (most current version) along with a description of how you would like it to work and how that differs from its behavior.

I was able to figure it out now, nevermind. The position parameter grip was on top of the stretch grip so stretching the block wasn't working correctly. I just turned the grip of the position parameters to 0, works great now, thanks.
