I am looking for a solution to have an intersecting line automatically change length as it is moved down between two angled lines (I need to model many sizes). See the attached image. As the horizontal line position (fixed at 60 degrees) is moved down, it should stay affixed to the two edge lines and simply change length. Any ideas are greatly appreciated for a new user.
Thanks, Ron
You'll need to remove the 1 3/8 dimension or right click it and change it to driven, then you can add a coincident constraint between the line end points.

Edit you might need a vertical construction line and add a symmetry constraint the the line end points as well.

Sorry missed the bit about new user the first read through your post, thought it might be easier to show you with a screen cast. One trick I like for this sort of problem where you need symmetry is to use a vertical constraint and select the origin and the midpoint of the horizontal line. Done like this you don't need any construction lines.
