You have to create an STL file first Rick. You have a couple ways to make them.. Either from your existing model or when you run verify you have the option to make one.
No there is currently no way to pick all the arcs and chamfer them in one operation. Feature Based Machining would be required to accomplish this. You'll have to do as Mic6 says and create individual ops for each arc.
IF the software could "look"/analyze a solid model or wireframe model and create the appropriate operation/pick the tool/and post the program then a 6 yr old could do it and you would be out of a job.
Good Idea Murlin
Another thought is to do a save some and save off the solid you created as a separate file to toolpath with.
I would add as much RAM to that system build as you can, 2 GB is awful low nowadays.
I follow what your trying to do.
My thoughts were that you would start with all sharp edges on the cube and create the 8 corners with .250R first.
Then fillet the 12 edges that are still sharp with .125R second.
