Needing some help..

Most good quality Cam software Like Vectric Aspire or Artcam will do the slicing for you so no need to do it in Solid works or Cad.

But only horizontal simple slicing. Not good if you are doing a complicated real life model of plane, boat and ... with cavities. Aspire is good for general stuff, excels at sign making but has next to nothing 3d capabilities, though again excels in 3d artistic drawing of a model

That depends if you know what your doing with Aspire.!! . . . . . . What do you think your doing when creating planes to slice in Solidworks.?
All you doing is slicing using planes from Front(x,y) or Right(y,z) view rather than Top view(x,z) or some angled plane.
When you import 3D model into aspire you can choose the position or angle relative to the top down plane used for slicing which is all your doing when slicing in SW using planes then importing into CAM.

Granted the 3D toolpaths aren't brilliant but they are more than good enough for this job.
