Setting an absolute retract height

$

Hi there people! I'm having a bit of trouble with something that should be fairly easy. Basically im machining a block that is at the limits of the machine travel in Z. The tools only have 4-6mm clearance above the top of the block before the machine runs out of travel.

 

So I set my retract plane for my operation to be 2mm above the surface of my block, but when I machine on an angle the tool tries to sometimes retract past this point and ends up overtravelling. I've had to be manually changing them after posting and was wondering if theres a way to tell creo that you dont want the tool to retract past the Operation retract plane, no matter what angle it is on.
