Kirk - I haven't done a whole lot of drilling with it but I am pretty sure that cambam (google it) will let you assign machining operations to a group of points. I've been using the free version for a while but recently downloaded the pay version - you get 40 (?) runs with no limits - I'm considering buying it. It's a Windows app not *nix though - better don my nomex...
