I did a job for an ITAR customer, .0005 true POS. Holes inline 180 degrees apart in titanium.
I calibrated before boring each part. Probed the same point for x and y on each rotation. Fixture was make so clamps pushed the part into the solid edge.
It worked out good. All datums were skimed in shrink holders with the face of the tool.
I used my post who's spits out the standard pqi macros(renishaw)

Camplete makes a nice job setup sheet. Once you get your holders in the library in mastercam they export to camplete with the export dll.
On a few occasions camplete would have an arc going outside of the machine like 10 or 20 ft in diameter.
I'm guessing it's one of those very small arc length deals. So I usually adjust the filtering parameters and it goes away
We got a guy I think he's from Pennsylvania. He showed us how to back up the data there was a long drawn-out process but at least your zeroes are preserved
