Restrict pin motion?

So I've been modeling a door hinge as a way to teach
myself pins, and I was wondering - is there any way to
make it so that the plates collide instead of pass
through each other? (either through making the model have
them collide or through me imposing a constraint that
only allows the pin to rotate enough so that the two
plates never).

Basically I want the door hinge's motion to be realistic,
but I have no idea how to impose constraints in pro/E
that would make it realistic (instead of incorporeal)

Thanks
 
never mind I actually figured it out like 20 seconds after
I wrote this out. For future reference - in the pin
constraints it has a third option "rotation" that does
exactly this. (oops)
