Mcam for Solidworks tool paths and model disconected

I have a model on which several tool paths on various planes are generated. I have twice so far had the path appear to become unattached to the model. I rotate the view and the model and the paths move independently appearing disconnected although no generation errors occur. I save the file close and reopen and all is fine. Any thoughts ?

Maybe it is because of the age of the Solidworks?

THis is something that I have happen to me all the time. Everything tends to shift/rotate from the normal solidworks WCS (Y is up) to the "rest of the world" WCS (Z being up), But only graphicly.  WHat I mean by this is that tool paths planes, and stock outlines will tend to be on their side. Even when selecting bodies in the assembly. 

Everything posts correctly though.[only if I don't fall for the graphic bug and actually rotate my work].
