I'm trying to spot, drill, then tap both of these parts:

I do not want to spot/drill/tap part one, then spot/drill/tap part 2. Too many tool changes.

 

Having the Setup specify the G54 and the Mirror Pattern specify the G55 (like in the screenshot below) does what I want it to, BUT there are too many tool changes:

Why not just allow one to specify multiple offsets in the mirrored pattern similar to how setups handle multiple offsets? Cleaner browser (no redundant toolpaths), no unnecessary toolchanges, no duplicating models. Just mirror the thing, done.

 

SUPER simple stuff here, surely there's a way to do this?
