Not so much no. About the closest i come is reusing the same program for pieces that are identical. This rarely happens.
The cam software i use does come with a few handy baked in things. Stuff like automatically lowering the feedrate for corners under a certain radius or for setting up z-level ramps.
There's a couple i can think of being handy. Functions for automatically decreasing feedrates at certain axis loads or horsepowers would be nice.
I think it would come down to something more like a handy library of functions for little things like that rather than anything really repeatable. Even that would likely be specific to whatever machine you use though.
