How to drill a piece of tubing with a rapid in the center

[Anonymous]

I need to find out how to drill a piece of tubing where in I drill through the first section then rapid though the center(so im not wasting time cutting air) and begin drilling again.  Is there an easy way of doing this?For example (drill,rapid,continue drilling)

Unfortunately I can't think of a way this could be handled in a drilling operation, you would need two separate drill operations or remain at the drill feed.

If you are just straight drilling (no pecking), you might be able to 'trick' it using center contours in each circle and use the trace strategy (with a high lead-in / lead-out feed). It would use the cutting feed to pass straight down the contour, then the lead feed to the contour below
