2d adaptive slotting starting outside of part

Semi-new to cam still. I was going over nyc cnc slotting tutorial where he tries to run an adaptive as a slotting strategy. They way I modeled the part and set the stock the endmill helix into the part. I couldn't get it to start outside the part and then I figured it out. I confined it not to with the geometry selection.  In my second part I sketched out a little area for the part to start outside and it worked nicely. Is this a reasonable idea or strategy and are sketches used often  or rarely in cam toolpaths?
