lathe finish profile with no rapid repositioning

I am finish turning a shaft before a threading operation. Material is Grade 8 bolt material. When finish profiling, after completing the pass, the tool travels at the same feed rate to position for the next pass, it doesn't rapid to X clearance nor to Z clearance. It isn't a big deal, but sure takes longer. What is the trick to get the lathe to reposition for the next pass in rapid mode.
