Auto Chamfer Feature?

I'm new to 3D printing so I'm probably dreaming here, but does an automatic chamfer feature on ANY software exist? You know, where I can click on a flat surface of my design, and BAM!, up comes a chamfer. I'm absolutely dreading having to manually add them to my otherwise completed designs.

like this?

lots of chamfers and a couple of fillets  - this was in 123D design, but similar tools are available in many packages

Yup, top level menu choice in Fusion360 too.

In Fusion360 you can do this by selecting a face. But most of the time you need to select the edges manually. Software doesn't know what exactly you want to have chamfered and what now. For example in case of the object from Joan, you can see some edges are not chamfered.
