Resolve mode has been around for a very long time, at least 10 years.

Like I said, the advantage for me is that I can stop and save my file
at that point before I go forward to resolve. There's nothing more
infuriating than resolving half a dozen failed features in a row then
ProE goes "Boom" and you have to start again.

I did this recently, it worked really well. I have to say Wildfire's
handling of patterns is way better than it used to be.
