enhancement request for 2d chamfer

I would like to see a multiple depth of cut option for 2D chamfer. Sometimes the work holding can be a little sketchy or the part really delicate, so to currently take the chamfer in one depth of cut can sometimes make parts fly out of the vise.

If you didn`t know there is already the facility to use the Chamfer option in 2D Contour where you can make multiple passes that pretty much does the job for now.

Thanks, I had not noticed that, is that something new? I ended up using blend on this particular part, but now I know there is another tool to use.

It's not new.  And altho this saves the day for sure, I would maintain your request.  2d chamfer has an advantage that it stays clears of walls automatically with a clearance value you give it.  You can achieve this with the 2d contour method as well, but this is just easier and more automatic.  It would be nice to be able to add radial and axial passes in 2d chamfer.
