Controlling z depth of cutting when using a v bit

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

Work-around for the interior:

V carve + inside pocket?

I’m trying to understand how to use V carve along with a pocketing operation. For example I am wanting to V carve an entire sign but there are large areas that need to be pocketed, would I simply V carve along the lines and then perform an inside pocket after a tool change to a flat in endmill on the inside of the pocket area?

The same principle can be applied to the exterior:

EDIT: but instead, one may now use Advanced V carving:
