Unfortunately, there was no options like those that came with it. It didn't include any machine tools either. We are working with one of our sponsors to supply those.

It obviously depends on your part, but what you can do is make two programs. The first program does say half of the part, and in one of your lightening holes, instead of pocketing the whole thing out, simply cut out a hole (say 0.75-1"). You would then move the part, probe off of that hole, then run the second program with your new zero. Since you don't have a part probe, this will make things difficult. You could try to use a dial indicator.
