Chamfer tool not propagating correctly?

I'm trying to add fillets to some bosses, and getting unexpected results.  The part starts out like this:

And what I'm looking for is something like this: (this was done in Solidworks)

What Fusion does is this:

It extends the chamfer to the rest of the face instead of pushing just the side of the boss out.  And trying to select both bosses in the same chamfer feature doesn't work at all.

 

I can get where I want to go with a draft, but chamfer should really be able to handle this.

 

File is attached.

Fusion requires that the material used in the Chamfer is available so the faces, to be chamfer, must be extended by 4 mm before the Chamfer tool is executed.

You can do this with the move faces function as well:

Ehh, that seems kinda lame.  You should be able to select the inside edge and pull the chamfer out without having it extend the edge.  Fillet seems to do the same thing, which is also lame.  It will work if the inside corner is 90 degrees or less.  But for angles greater than 90 degrees it gets confused, which doesn't seem right.  😑

 

Hopefully next time they're working on chamfer/fillet they can improve this.
