Inventor Studio Question

Inventor Pro 2014

Creating a video, I've an assembly where I've animated constraints, moving hardware from a neutral position to being tangent on a pipe OD...at the end, I fade out alarger OD pipe, and fade in a smaller OD pipe, and want the hardware to move a little more to be tangent on the new smaller pipe OD.....

Question...How do I edit or add a new constraint animation that will move the hardware the additional 2 or 3 inches.....

Issue: When I go to the part, animate, constraints, the window will not allow me to enter any dimensions...

Thanks Guys and Gals!!

What I do is I have 2 sets of moving hardware. At the begining of the animation the second set that will move from the large od to the smaller od is faded to 0.
I animate the first set to the large OD then at the same point in time I fade out set 1 and fade in set 2 Instantaneous so you can not see the switch. Then I animate set 2 to the smaller od.

Thanks Doug...that will suffice as a work-around for sure, but hoped there was a way to do it without the extra parts, i.e. through the animate features...I'll keep that in reserve though!!

Thanks again!!
