perpendicular segment between two points

hello,

i made a couple of blocks to find the axis of a segment: they make a segment perpendicular and in the middle of the distance of two points.
In the first sample one point is the origin (basepoint) and the second is free to move

It's all right but I wish to move also the first point, so I made the second one, where I put on the left both a point parameter (as in the right side) and the basepoint, the latter only to avoid to see an insertion point floatin around. The axis is just constrained midpoint to midpoint and perpendicular. As you can see in the gif something weird happen when I move the left handle: it looks moving great but jumps back whn I release the handle.

Any help?

Eventually, I would like also to make the reference line invisible, and the axis itself variable in lenght.

I attach them both.

Thank you.

See the attached drawing. You didn't need to use constraints. Polar stretches will do what you want

A mix of Dynamic parameters/actions and constraints will fail in most cases - q.e.d.  😉

 

Attached an attempt without constraints.

thank you @h_s_walker @j.palmeL29YX 

I also removed the reference line (adding points in defpoints) and made adjustable the lenght.

Your "void" action does not need to be chained
