Ramp in and out for a contour

Trying to figure out an easy way to ramp in and out with a contoured slot.  I am packing sawdust on this one and need to break it up on the way out so the tool doesn't pull out of the collet.

I figured out a way to do it using contour 2d ramp, then save geo, mirror then chain the in and out together and use a contour 3d with no comp.  Just plain dirty, as it doesn't output helix arc's anymore.  Filter settings won't let me select 3d arc output?????  Isn't that what it is there for?

Anyone have a better way? I would be fine with it being two ops and then editing toolpaths to link them at the bottom.

File attached.
