seems thats an Inventor 10 thing (since u mentioned the design accelerator) i havent had ton of time to really mess around with it... but constraints are only in assemblies, not parts. sooo once you create a part such as a gear it has its own IPT. remove it from your current assembly and re introduce it into the assembly, at this point it should have zero constraints. now just apply 2-3 contraints ( constraint on the axle it rotates on, constraint of position along the axle, and a constraint for rotation with other gears).
I maybe wrong
