Surface Hits without Focus

Good Afternoon:

I'm constructing a plane out of 3 surface hits in on my optiv. I remember in class where we used focus on the first hit and I think leveled to it and then took 2 more hits without having to focus again. It made it a little faster.

I was looking for the setting or menu to turn of focus but couldn't find it. Can someone help me out? Thanks.

So for my programs I always Level and Translate Z to the relative surface but I was told best practice is to always focus. I have a lot of programs that perform hundreds of focuses for 1 run. Has anyone else heard of this practice? My Z referencing is usually taken with our white light sensor which is extremely accurate but it will still come down to best fit over the course of a distance. Measuring at 10x all the time so small features seem to like being focused on.

I would love to cut out 2-4 seconds a feature and not Focus!! Ha!
