Please tell me how to give an edge blend or round fillet choosing 3 faces in the one body .
1. sometimes it is necessary to choose the faces of the body so fillet command should decide the appropriate fillets for those but in NX i am not able give such blends

2.is there any hidden commands available for it in NX?

3. in solidowork this task is achieved by choosing 3 or 2 faces in manual round fillet command .

4. Please show me how its done in NX

Instead of faces I would expect choosing the two edges would be appropriate.

However there's this: thread561-138887
 
Are the surfaces drafted or is that perspective? Face blend instead of edge blend will allow the choice of three faces to create a blend. Not sure how it works with drafted surfaces though.

yes surface are drafted , its a trapezoidal section
of one base 22mm and another base 17.3mm,
face blends can be only applied to the surface faces , when i activate face blend to apply blend to these slots , i am not able to choose the individual faces in single body.
you can please try once with my .prt file attached..
 
Go to blend face, there is a drop down called 3 surface blends. Try this out. Watch the arrow directions when selecting surfaces

 
It is possible to do it with a face blend, but you can do it easier with an edge blend.
It appears to me like you don't need anything fancy here.
Use EDGE BLEND, pick the five edges (1,2,3, plus corners), enter size, press apply (or ok), and you should be good. Edit size as needed.

Face blend will give you a true 3 face blend; you can only approximate one with edge blend. But I'm a few major versions behind, so maybe they have enhanced the edge blend command...

Edit to add screenshot:
As mentioned by sdeters, you might need to use "reverse direction" after picking a face. The arrows should point to the center of the blend.
