Perpendicular line
Entry will be a line perpendicular to the next entity. For linear leads on arc entities, this will be the line perpendicular to the tangent line of the arc.
For linear leads, the angle of a lead-in is defined with respect to the first motion after the lead. A 0° lead-in will lead straight into the first cut. Positive lead-in angles are defined clockwise from the 0° position, so a 90° lead-in will cause a sharp left-turn into the first cut. Lead-out angles are defined in a similar fashion with a 0° lead-out extending straight out of the last cut. Positive lead-out angles are defined counter-clockwise from the 0° position, so a 90° lead-out will cause a sharp left-turn out of the last cut.For arc leads, angle defines the distance the lead will extend around a circle. A 90° lead would extend one quarter of the way around, whereas a 180° lead would extend half way around - forming a semicircle.
Tangent line
Entry will be a line tangent to the next entity on the profile. Useful in cases where lead-in is on a convex profile. Also good for exteriors?(show tangent on straight entry or exit, show tangent on exterior lead)
Arc
Entry will be an arc motion, tangent to the . Use Arc radius and Arc sweep angle to control size of the lead-in.

Side
Equivalent to ‘flip leads’. Can be used to correct situations where leads are placed on the wrong side of a profile.
Height / ramp
I don’t know what this does.
Arc radius
For arc style lead-ins or lead-outs, this is the radius of the arc. Use this to control the size of the entry or exit.
Arc sweep angle
For arc style leads, this is used to control the arc length.

Line length
Used with linear lead-ins, defines length in mm of entry motion.
Extend / shorten path
Undertravel or Overtravel. Use a negative value for undertravel, to shorten the length of the path by some distance. Enter a positive value
Leave at zero to keep original path with no shortening or extending.

Notes:
Mention the setting in Parameters for Projection to control how the healed surface is used for interiors.
