PartDesign Chamfer

Description
This tool creates chamfers on the selected edges of an object. A new separate Chamfer entry (followed by a consecutive number if there are already existing chamfers in the document) is created in the Project tree.

Add a Chamfer

 * 1) Optionally activate the Body to chamfer (by double clicking the Tree view item).
 * 2) There are several ways to select edges to chamfer:
 * 3) * Select one or more edge(s) of the active Body individually.
 * 4) * Select one or more face(s) on the active Body to select all surrounding edges at once.
 * 5) * Select the whole active Body to select all its edges at once.
 * 6) There are several ways to invoke the Chamfer tool:
