Where did heal geometry go?

PTC has a decent tutorial on the new functionality and workflow.

Today is the first day I have imported an IGES into WF4 M100. In WF3 days
you could Edit Def on the import then go to Geometry menu and click heal
geometry automatic or manual. Now the only choice I get is Import Data
doctor. I have just a few simple gaps to zip up and I would like to know
how to do that now. I did find under the IDD menu that there is a repair
option which works similar to the old automatic but I still have some gaps
which I think would zip under the manual mode of late. Anyone have any
ideas or suggestions.

Same here, recently I imported some data and needed to "Zip the Gaps" and I
could not find it. There are some newer repair tools but they are all
manual.

In the IDD you need to tell it which gaps you want to zip.
There are 2 different gaps tools. One under the repair mode and one under the featurize mode.
Repair mode:
Use the search tool to find “gaps”. You can then increase the size until you have them all. This is a lot like the old tool. While they are selected you need to add them to the wire frame. Then use the repair tool.
Featurize:
Choose the define gaps tool. Pick each side of the gap in the appropriate box. Then use the close tool. (You could use the search tool here as well).
