Catia V5 machining. How to pick more than one curve in a single 2D contour tool path?

Hi,
Very new to Catia V5 machining so bear with me. I am trying to do some simple 2D contour periphery passes around the outside of some parts. I chose "profile contouring". It seems I can only choose one curve per tool path. Other cam systems I've used let you choose an infinite number of curves to cut within one tool path. How do I do this in Catia? If I have multiple parts I could potentially have dozens of tool paths just to cut around the periphery of each part, there's got to be a better way. See picture of example.
Thanks, Mike.
