Importing inventor part to gibbs cam

Importing inventor part to gibbs cam

(OP)
I'm using inventor 2012 and Gibbs 2010 and the inventor has an add in allowing me to export directly to Gibbs. When I do this I get the model into Gibbs but I can't do anything in the machining operations with it. I am not very proficient with Gibbs but my guys at the shop are and they can't get it either. I am able to pick edges and circles on my model as well as extract holes but still no machining operation. I can sketch in Gibbs and get the machining to work so I know I am capable of simple operations. What am I doing wrong?
