No, the constraints prevent the chain from moving. I've beaten my head against this (trying to make a constraint-driven chain animation) far too much without success. I did get a short segment (three links, I think) to go all the way around a path, but it locked up on the transition from straight path to curved (at the sprocket) with more links. That was awhile back, and I haven't revisitied the problem with later versions of Inventor, but I doubt that it will work. (That statement should prompt someone to immediately post back with a working model!)
