WF5 - Regen Failure Diagnostics?

[akelly]

Using WF5 and I'm having trouble finding out why I'm getting regen failures.

In WF4, Pro/E was pretty clear about why it couldn't regenerate a feature. Granted, you were dead in the water until you dealt with it (all hail suppress and undo!).

The new regen logic / Regeneration Manager in WF5 has me stumped. All I can get Pro/E to tell me is what feature failed ... not why.

I'm going through Pro/Help ("TFM"). It says regen failures are supposed to work the way I remember it from WF4. So how can I get the Failure Diagnostics window if WF5 isn't throwing me into Resolve Mode with a regen failure?

When model regeneration fails, all subsequent features (features to be regenerated after the failed feature) remain unregenerated. The current model shows only the regenerated features in the Graphics window (the failed feature and all subsequent features are not displayed).
Creo Elements/Pro enters Resolve mode. The Failure Diagnostics window opens and provides information about which features have failed and why. The window provides helpful links to additional information about the regeneration failure (Overview and Feature Info), including general information about resolving failures.
