I can't see the chamfer command in sketch environment. Is there anything that can replace it ?

    There is no chamfer sketch command.  Generally it is best practice to add fillets and chamfers later on solids.

    To add onto this, the sketcher only knows about geometry and constraints, so it doesn't really have any knowledge of what fillets or chamfers are, so when the sketch fillet tool is used, it creates a dumb arc with tangent constraints. This means that if there are upstream features change, that arc might update in a way that a fillet would not since sketch arcs can turn 'inside out' while fillets cannot.

    Fastest way I see is just sketch a long line through the corner, then press "m" and trim the line segments.
