There were some changes to the way gadgets work in v10 which has affected some of Pauls gadgets. See here for details - viewtopic.php?p=239252#p239252

There is a spiral gadget on the main site that may or may not do what you want but works in v10 - http://gadgets.vectric.com/V10/spiral.html

Adrian, thank you

The spiral gadget does not work for my purpose, which is cutting circular pockets, the one on the main site does not cut
the same way.

I might have to use an older version and create some spiral vectors for a specific pocket sized and copy the vector to V10

Might be worth trying with just the standard vectors and toolpaths. There were changes to the cutting strategy for pockets in v10 so whatever behaviour you didn't like in previous versions may have been changed now.
