2D contour Tabs With Lead in /Out

Is it possible to make 2d contour  toolpath that makes tabs and use lead in/out when making tab?
Problem is when tool is going up and down when making a  tab it leaves a mark.

I am not sure about your direct question (lead-in/out), but when you make the tabs, are you doing them in full solid material?  If so, try roughing out a channel up to the top of your tabs before doing the tabs (leave just a finish allowance on the part's walls).  You can also try the triangular tabs, they dont plunge straight down.
