LibreCad/.DXF to G-Code for CNC drill?

Hi,
I've drawn up XY co-ordinates in LibreCAD, for a CNC to drill bolt &
vent holes in round rotors/plates for my Electric Hubcap 5KW pancake
motors. (When I couldn't figure out how to do and dupliate things at
exact angles around a circle, I got good step by step instructions
from LibreCAD's help forum.)
I suspect there are people here who'll know... Now that I've done the
drawing, how might I get a G-Code drill program from it?
(Bla bla bla: My CNC drill/router, which I bought from the guy who
made it maybe 10+ years ago, has no more sophisticated software than
the G-Code controller. ...Previously, I worked out the co-ordinates
via sines and cosines in a spreadsheet, and then created the g-code
program by hand, cutting and pasting each number to where it needed
to be. Now to make a change I have to do it all over again. Obviously
I need to start moving into the modern era, so this time I downloaded
LibreCAD.)
TIA,
Craig
