prevent overwriting of the parent sheet?

[spaggio]

I use the global variable "oftensor" to compile a custom property of the same name (by means of a specific part model), so as to take advantage of the thickness in separate materials.

with the introduction of solidworks 2013, the management of the sheets has changed, and I find myself in difficulty.

when I have to change the parameters of a sheet, I am forced to open its function, remove the check from "subscribe default parameters", then go into the "father" sheet function and make the changes of the case. If I intervened directly on the "son" sheet, in fact, the parent sheet would remain with the parameters exceeded and I would find myself with an incorrect data regarding the thickness of the piece (the globar variable "oftensor" is in fact relative to the parent sheet).
This procedure of setting the functions of sheet metal, in addition to losing a lot of time, is risky, because I could forget to make it and have possible errors on the thicknesses in distinct materials.

exists a way/set/system to ensure that, by creating a sheet, this has parameters that are inherited from the father function, without overwriting them automatically?

You'll find yourself well... That's all.
for what you're asking, I don't think there's a setting, but if you have the shortness to remove the tick when you create a new sheet metal body the "problem" won't turn out.
I leave each body in sheet metal with its own ad hoc values (then option with the check on "overwrite...").
you can do as I do, name the bodies and through a welding table I can check at any time thickness and factor k.
I'll put an example on your flight.
You'll see that with time you'll get used to it, I'm not hiding that in the first days some development was wrong. . .

the problem is also this: it is not possible to remove the check. not for the first body. every time I have to do the procedure I have described, hoping not to go wrong.
for me this mode is only a discomfort, since I do not use multibody sheets.
welds I manage them together, otherwise they become unmanageable coding, distinct materials, flat repetitions, etc.
This way, however, I can't have information on the thickness at the table, so I set a custom property in the model. but it does not work if the sheet goes to overwrite the parameters of the parent sheet.

I hope there's a way to disable this mode. if I open an old sheet remains with the old management, so I hope it can be feasible even on new files.
