I can't help you with the Chamfer Gadget, because I've never used it, but when I read the description, it appears to me that, if you have version 8 or higher, you can achieve the same result using the moulding toolpath. In order to create a chamfer, the profile vector of the moulding toolpath will be a straight line of the desired angle. Since the moulding toolpath is a built-in part of the software, you are much more likely to be able to get help, either from Vectric support or from the forum. A lot more people are experienced with the moulding toolpath than with the chamfer gadget. I personally had never heard of it until your post.

I threw together a file with examples of using the moulding toolpath in order to simulate chamfers of different angles. I hope this helps!
