So I'm currently working on some molds with some pretty deep pockets - tall setups, long tooling. At the start of the program, the spindle always approaches at the height of the tool changer, regardless of my clearance/retract/etc. It also always retracts back to that height between tool changes. How can I change this so that the spindle retracts higher between tool paths? My sketchy solution is to add a contour that acts as an entry/exit around where it would crash, but I'd like to figure out what setting I have to change to properly solve this issue. Machine is a Haas UMC-750, if that helps.

Is there a way to make an unwind retract move parallel to the tool direction rather than just up in Z? If the tool is tipped under the part, it crashes through the part in the retract move.
