General Question - Automatically Adding Probe Coordinates to *.nc File

We are interested in doing the following in Fusion 360:

 -Creating a Model of a generic design.

 -Adding probe locations (quantity 4 X-Y datapoints) to the generic design.

 -Creating a CAM routine that makes approximately 16 patterned copies of the generic design.

-When exporting the CAM routine to a *.nc file, having Fusion 360 automatically generate all of the probe locations in X-Y coordinates (64 X-Y datapoints in this example).

 

Is this possible?

There is very little API support for CAM so you won't be able to automate the process you described.
