How do I select multiple curves when 2D controuring

Hi,
Very new to Catia, so bear with me. I am trying to do a very simple 2 axis contour cut around the periphery of some parts. I cannot figure out how to select more than one curve with a single tool path. In other cam systems I've used you can select as many curves as you want within a single tool path. I am using "Profile Contouring". Is there another tool path that allows me to select multiple curves? If I have to create a tool path for every curve I want to cut I could potentially have dozens of tool paths just for cutting around the outside of some similar nested parts. See the attached picture for the example I'm using. As you can see I have two parts and I just want to run a 3/8" end mill around them using one tool path.
Thanks, Mike.
