Problem- Supress Unwanted Retract Moves?

Another one for the people that are smarter than me!

Here's the scenario,

I am using a contour tool-path to profile a part. It is set to multi-pass, causing the endmill to go around twice. I also selected "keep tool down", it is working fine and is keeping the endmill at the cutting depth between the two passes.

Next I am running a second contour tool-path (with the same endmill) to finish the last .01" on the wall of the profile at a different rpm and feedrate.

However there is a retract move between the first and second contour tool-path that is not necessary as only the rpm and feed changes, not the depth or tool.

Any ideas on how to surpress this useless retract move, other than just editing the code after posting?

Thanks.

Colton there is a tool path editor in MC that you can do this in. in the operation Manager pick your path and while your curser is over the operation right click and pick at the bottom Tool path editor.
