Is there a way to combine multiple operations into a single path?

Solution

Yes, you can use the Merge Path program group to do this under certain conditions.

As stated in the help here:

https://docs.sw.siemens.com/en-US/doc/209349590/PL20220512394070742.mfggeneral/xid1493397

You can use the Merge Path operation subtype to combine two or more operations into a single operation to improve machining efficiency.

You combine operations using the Operation Navigator and the Create Program dialog box.

You can also use the Create Program command to create a new program group, and can then add operations to it.

Note:

The operations you merge must all use the same tool.
