Is there a tool that I could get for Poser that could maybe drill holes into props, autoshapes, etc.for free? I am trying to make a 3D CD and in the center of CDS there is a hole for CD players to read it with.

Here's a quick CD model, in OBJ form.  (It's loaded as TXT here.... download and change its name to CD.OBJ before using.)

The inner part (usually transparent) and outer part are separate material zones. 

Dimensions are accurate in scale:  If you make the outer diameter 5 inches,
the hole will be 0.5 inch, and the inner part will be 1.5 inches diameter.  

Use UVmapper to output a template. (It's already mapped in planar two-sided form.)

I suggest you look at one of the free modelling programs like wings3d, blender, anim8or etc. Theres  a list in the 3d modelling forum , at the top.

Poser is extremely limited for modelling - you can really only group the primitives together and use the group editor to assign material groups .
