Retract Question

I made a tray that has a pocketed depth of about 0.700". I did a v-carve inlay in the pocketed area. It took quite a while because on every retract the z axis move was the original retract height of 0.050" plus the 0.700" pocket depth. Is there any way to have it retract above the pocket depth and not go all the up to the original Z zero?

The only way would be to move the V Carve to another file, then set the bottom surface of the pocket as your top-of-stock.

I think you are right. The only other way would be to save as G-Code and manually edit the Z retracts but that could be prone to editing errors. Thanks…
