Can you make a really small circle instead of a point?

Agreed. Make a very small circle instead of a point. Otherwise it sounds like you need to figure out how to modify your post processor to use with the plate marker.

I don't know about torchmate CAD, but with the CAD I use I would make a circle with a diameter of 0.001" for the center punch marking with a torch fire.
