The OP would be able to use the post you received from Autodesk if he uses HSMWorks or HSMXpress in Solidworks because that's what Inventor uses for CAM. That way he won't have to switch CAD software.

HSMXpress is the lite version of HSMWorks, but still very powerful. There's really no need to get HSMWorks unless you want to do 3D operations. HSMXpress is free for anyone who has a Solidworks license. HSMWorks isn't free but you can get a free copy by requesting a sponsorship (just like Solidworks).
