drilling a tube

permalink

I need to drill nine 3/8" holes in a 3" square steel tube through both sides.
I would like to know how I could modify the code to drill through the first side then rapid down and drill through the bottom side.

How does one create a .dxf file for drilling with sheetcam? I have tryed drawing points, circles, lines nothing works.

Thanks for your help in advance.
