Of course, if you think like a programmer and don't want to know anything about G92 or stuff like that, you just write a gcode subroutine to make the part. The subroutine takes two arguments, the X and Y coordinates of the (center, edge, whatever) the part.
Then call the subroutine once for each place that you want to make the part.
