Stretch Action - Need line to stay connected to two points

Good day,

 

I have attached my block as well as a photo.

 

I am having an issue when stretching a dynamic block i've made. I would like the line I have circled red in to remain attached to the corner of the rectangle and the midpoint of the intersecting line (see points circled in blue) when stretching the rectangle horizontally or vertically.

Accepted solution

Add an additional Stretch action to both of the linear parameters to move the end of the line where it intersects the other diagonal line.  In the properties of these two new stretch actions set the Distance Multiplier to 0.5.  This will make the stretch action move half the distance the linear parameter moves.  This will keep that end centered.

Happy to help where I can.

 

BTW: In the file I uploaded I changed the two linear parameters to only have one grip as it seemed only one grip on each was needed.  This required the Distance1 parameter to be reversed so that grip was at the correct location, then re-setup the two stretch actions.
