I have FAB3000 version 8.4.1 and tooling holes dont work on this version as well. I would gladly pay to upgrade if it works on the newest version because I really need tooling holes to do 4 layer pcb alignments.
This don't work in my version of the FAB3000 software.
The holes are not in the panel after finish them.
Version 8.3.58

Add NC Tooling Holes and then enter Width, Height, Coordinates, and Rotation.
Available Tooling Hole Shapes:

Height (for Slots only):
The height to use for the tooling hole.
Center Point X, Y :
Assign the center point for the tooling hole.
Relative X,Y Coordinates are supported:
You may use Relative X,Y Coordinates requires the at-sign @ (See below for examples)
X = @-1 Y = @0.25 would result in -1 (from Panel Right) and 0.25 (from Panel Bottom)
X = @0.5 Y = @-0.75 would result in 0.5 (from Panel Left) and -0.75 (from Panel Top)

Assign the rotation (in degrees) for the slot. Default is 0.0.
