Template: Create an interpolate point between 2 points

Question

Hi. 
 I want to create an interpolate point between 2 points. I mean, a point in the middle of the Component (one segment) 
 
 In SubAssembly Composer (SAC) of Autodesk, I do this with Type point = Interpolate Point.

Here I am trying to do it with Constraint 1= Angle Distance. 
 Angle=0 
 and the Distance should be a formula (the hyptotenuse)= SQRT((_$(B)-$(A))^2 + (|$(B)-$(A))^2) 
 
 Thanks in advance.

Where do you want X with respect to A and B? 
 The way I understand diagram and description is that you want to extend the line from B to A by the same as the distance between B and A. 
 If that's the case, you could use a slope constraint - =/$(A)-$(B) - and a distance constraint - =_$(B)-$(A). Because this is working with similar triangles you could use either horizontal or vertical distance constraints.

Yes, with Horizontal and Slope it works fine. 
 In fact, in SAC with "Angle and Delta X" if Angle is 0 from Reference is the same case. 
 Thanks.
