Constraining Gears in Inventor 8

I know how to ser a rotational constraint with the proper ratio between two gears, but is it possible to constrain the teeth as well? If you just set a ratio, the teeth tend to unmesh after a while. I checked around and the answer seems to be no, but sometimes you get lucky. The gears are accurately drawn as I got them from Boston Gear.
