Unsure of toolpath to use.

I am looking to engrave a pocket with a 1/2 45 deg chamfer mill. This pocket is about an inch long and roughly 1/8 at the widest point. Is there a way to make a one pass cut where the z depth will change to accommodate the profile width of the pocket? I am attempting to engrave a logo with lots of these pockets.

The engraving tool path did exactly what I was looking for.  I had tried the engraving tool path before creating this thread but was using a chamfer mill. I was unable to generate a tool path.  I took the geometry from the chamfer mill and created a new engraving tool with the same tool geometry and it worked. Thanks for all the suggestions. It helped bring me back to try different parameters on a tool path type I had given up on. I never engraved anything before with different depths so I have stuck with  the 2D contour paths for engraving. I will definitely be using the engraving tool path more often now that I am familiar with how to make it work. Once again thanks for all the suggestions.
