Error description

• FTA (part) / Selecting Chamfer Dimension
  highlights extra faces for chamfer
  .
  Scenario
  1.) Start CATIA V5R17SP3.
  2.) Open the sent file : GDIM.CATPart. A solid with
  a view appears.
  3.) Enter "FTA" the work bench.
  4-1.) Click "Generative Dimension" the command
  icon.
  4-2.) Expand "Body.2" the node in the tree.
  4-3.) Select "Chamfer.25". "Generate 3D
  Tolerancing dimensions" dialog box appears.
  4-4.) Click a listed Feature Name to create its
  dimension. See an activation of "Apply" button.
  4-5.) Click "OK". The dimension for "Chamfer.25"
  is created.
  5.)Confirm "3D-Annotation-Query Switch
  On /Switch Off" is activated. This is a key point.
  6.) Click "Dimension.1."
  .
  Problem: You see that not only "Chamfer.25" is
  highlighted but faces next to Chamfer are Also
  highlighted.
  .
  Additional Information:
  Selecting Chamfer.25 in the Specification tree
  correctly highlights the Dimension and Chamfer
  faces.
  .
  Expected result: Only chamfer faces should be

  MODIFICATION:
  Following text has been added:
  .
  Chamfering consists of removing or adding a flat
  section from a selected edge to create a beveled
  surface between the two original faces common to
  that edge. So, a chamfer dimension is created on
  three faces which comprises of, an added flat
  section and the two original faces. Thus, whenever
  the chamfer dimension is selected, the features
  generating the two original faces also get
  highlighted in the feature tree.
