2D ops violating.

I tried to run a 1/2 endmill into a pocket today and the start of the pocket has a smaller then .25 rad and then i was going to go in with a smaller end mill and 2d the extra stock out. The 1/2 endmill ignored the arc all together and wiped out the 1st corner. Has anyone else noticed that if you use a larger endmill to 2d something and theres a small radius on the entry or exit move it just ignores it? To get the 2d program to work properly i had to add an extra line to lead into before the arcs then it calculated correctly.

do you use computer, wear or control compensation ???

We use wear if its a 2d operation that we wanna be able to offset out at the machine. other then that we use computer and occationally i use off if i want it to run down the center of the endmill. Ive never used control comp. Thanx for the suggestion tho.
