Range for a transitional constraint in an angle? . . .

Is there a way to set a range in a constraint for an angular assembly (in real-time)?

I viewed the following tutorial:
http://teknigroup.com/tutorials/Inventor/restrictiveTransConstraint.html

Instead of a linear design like a piston, would you be able to apply similar method to the lid on a tool box (for example).

Lets say the Toolbox lid can open 115 degrees. Can I limit the possible contraint angles between 0 and 115 (not using the drive constraint command)

Thanks for the help,

Have you tried contact sets/contact solver? Typically you apply contact sets to the lid and whatever feature limits that to 115 degrees in real life and then activate the contact solver.
