Permissions change to "inherited" upon saving.

My situation is as follows:
At the file level, I uncheck the Inherit from Parent... checkbox. I apply
Full Control to two separate groups, one being Domain Admins of which i'm a
member. The Everyone group is granted read/read-exe and another group is
granted read/read-exe/write. When the file is saved by any of the groups with
write acces and above the drawing reverts to Inherting from Parent.
 
This is likely due to an application, like some of Office, that
like to use temp files, and a save ends up being a rename of
a new file, and of course, a new file will be inheriting from
the containing directory.
Even without this issue, but due to it also, I find it hazardous
to store in one directory files that are ACL'd differently.
It turns into an error-prone mgmt nightmare over time.
 
Thanks for the response. I'll have to get more info an the app side. For
general info, the Application is AutoCAD.
 
If it is at all possible to restructure the storage so the
file perms follow directory perms, then relying on the
NTFS perms inherited from containing dir such work if
it is the new file inheritance that is your issue.
