Running 2 parts on one program CC free. The profile cut on one part is conventional, counter clockwise around the perimeter. But when that function Is finished it moves to profile the next part, but in the opposite direction, climb milling. Is there a setting i missed?

the cut turned out fine, but im machining canvas micarta which is pretty tough for a router to climb mill.
Your first path, set to offset outside & conventional, cuts conventional
The other paths are set to No Offset, so conventional/climb doesn’t apply. It’s cutting conventional on one side of the cutter, and climb on the other side.

Note that Pro will afford compleat and total control over cutting direction, even for No Offset toolpaths:
Um, I don’t think so. 
If the curve is symmetrical, you can mirror it to get the tool to go the other way.
Oh, so when i mirrored the part, maybe it brought the mirrored tool path with it?

Even if you create the toolpaths after mirroring, they will go different directions. It’s the definition of the curve I believe it follows. So when mirrored, the curve goes the other way.
