Prevent Unnecessary Z Axis Retracts?

Prevent Unnecessary Z Axis Retracts?

I've got a program for a part with a very long seal groove in it.  It's square to the table and all done with an A0B0 orientation.  Between every point, the auto-path inserts a very long retract, and it really doesn't provide any benefit or clearance.

I realize that I can go in an manually change the path, but there are many operations with several points.  Is there a setting that I can change the avoid these retracts?

Thank you!
