Default Hem Length

On a sheet metal part, when you select to add a HEM feature, the default for the length is "Thickness * 4".  I know that I can change it but was wondering if there is a way to change the "default" value so I don't have to change it every time. Is it a value defined in one of the .xml files ?  I did not find it in the sheetmetalrules.xml file.

I have a template for staring sheet metal parts with a rule that allows for selecting a material ( stock number ) from a drop down list of all the sheet metal raw materials that we currently carry. Can the hem length be set from that iLogic script ? I tried using :

HemDefinition.SetSingleHemType( "Thickness * 0.5", "0.375 in" )

to set the gap and the length but it gives and error

"Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference."

Hi! Unfortunately, there is no way to change the default value at the moment.

Many thanks!
