Just IN- new guy, trying to learn the gibbs cam software !

[frankie al]

I have been a machinist for 6 yrs, but the only thing I know and been wotking with is mazaks with the mazatrol 640 fusion control, do my own programing and tooling, according to the parts specifications, now recently I started learning the gibbs cam, here in the shop I am working for, although I am doing this on my own free time, what I have noticed is that this software
" gibbs cam production mill and lathe 2002 version 6.0 " it only allows you to do solids geometry, you know parts that require drilling, or can it do hollow parts geometry?, if it does, how do I do it ? will appreciate your help thank you.
