Yes, by checking the variable #CYCLE.
You need to set the Machine Define file to use canned
cycles and build the ability into the template section
to generate the individual moves.

This is an example of a simple drilling section.

@FXD1
#IF(#CYCLE=3)<
 G00 Z#ZCHK
 G01 Z#ZDPTH< F#FEED>
 G00 Z#ZCHK
>#ELSE<
< #RTNLVL>< #FXD>< X#XPOS>< Y#YPOS>< Z#ZDPTH>< R#ZCHK>< F#FEED>
>

This is an example of a more complex drilling section.

@FXD1
#IF(#CYCLE=3)<
#EVAL(#MOV=0)
#IF(#RTNLVL=1)<< #MOV> Z#CLEAR>
< #MOV>< X#XPOS>< Y#YPOS>
 Z#ZCHK
#EVAL(#MOV=1)
 #MOV Z#ZDPTH< F#FEED>
#EVAL(#MOV=0)
#IF(#RTNLVL=1)< #MOV Z#CLEAR>#ELSE< #MOV Z#ZCHK>
>#ELSE<
< #RTNLVL>< #FXD>< X#XPOS>< Y#YPOS>< Z#ZDPTH>< R#ZCHK>< F#FEED>

Pecking operations would require the use of a #REPEAT() loop.
This can allow you to build in support for multiple peck
increments, multiple feed rates, dwells, etc...
