Actually halk is right, though it's not a standard feature. There is an add on package you can install on top of SolidWorks called CAMWorks. CAMWorks is fully integrated into SolidWorks similar to the way COSMOS and PhotoWorks can be. This way inside SolidWorks you could create all your toolpaths and post process them without having to use multiple programs.

I've never actually used it myself, though I've seen it in action and have heard good and bad reviews of it.
