On lead in, use line and radius. Make sure the line length is greater than 1/2 the anticipated cutter diameter in order to properly apply comp.

Use the overlap parameter to cut past the profile start prior to leadout.

Seriously consider talking to the men about moving to WEAR COMP as a standard. I know its tough because the numbers wont match the print, but I have found that inevitably you wind up with comp more errors and reprogramming when programming to part geometry. Especially on complex part s.

As far as mistakes, you can add logic to your post that checks for the type of comp and posts a comment:

(*** WEAR COMP ONLY - DO NOT ENTER TOOL RADIUS ***)

That should be clear enough.
