Defines entry or exit geometry.
Perpendicular line
Entry or exit will be a line perpendicular to the adjacent segment in the base toolpath . 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.at the intersection point of the entry / exit and toolpath.
Tangent line
Entry or exit will be a line tangent to the next entity on the path. 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 the base toolpath at the intersection point of the entry / exit and toolpath. This is useful for entry or exit on a convex curved toolpath or where the entry or exit should be aligned with the toolpath.
Arc
Entry or exit will be an arc motion, tangent to the base toolpath at the intersection point of the entry / exit and toolpath. Use Arc radius and Arc sweep angle to control size of the lead-inarc.(show side lead-in)

Side
Entry and exit motions can be placed on the right or left side of a path. You can use this setting to correct situations where entry or exit motions are placed on the wrong side of a path.
...
Used with linear entry or exit, defines length in mm of entry or exit motion. Negative values are not permitted.
...
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
