The macro creates paths to machine fillets with the edge of an endmill on 'inside' holes where you can not used a toolbit designed for processing fillets.
It is applied by selecting the fillet face you want to machine and run the Macro.
The approach in the Macro is mostly an adapted copy of this video series by sliptonic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic9Kip5ufDE and it used to work until a couple of updates ago and still works in e.g. the FC version below:

The described behaviour is independent of the postprocessor used (tried linuxcnc, haidenhein, fanuc and a couple of my own postprocessors)
Does anyone have an idea why it's not working anymore?
PS:
The Macro is used to 'emulate' a 4/5 axis mill on chamfers parallel to the y-axis by cutting only with the cutter edge of an endmill. It's very useful if you do not have 4 or 5 axis or if they can not be used due to collision between spindle and part.
It could easily be modified to chamfers not parallel to any axis if someone would need it.
Additionally I have a version for fillets as well.
