Search tool, find by edge length

Is there a way to use the Search tool to find all edges with a length greater than x?

Example: I want to round a bunch of edges in my model, they are quite a few and tricky to select. If I could do a search and select all edges longer than 15. That would cover most if not all edges I want.

Is this a thing in Creo Parametric?

We are using Creo 7 here.

AFAIK it is not possible to use the find tool to select model edges by length.

Have you tried to use auto-round feature option? It will automate the selection of edges for rounds. I would need to see the model to confirm it would be an option, but I would consider it.

I have tried auto-round, but my question is if the find tool is capable of selecting edges based on their length.

 

I would like to round the inside and outside edges of the model. Yes in this example I should use convert to sheetmetal and use sheetmetal features, since it is sheetmetal afterall.
