@JP, initially when you open a schematic as part of a complex hierarchy,
there wont be any sheet path for the new sheet so it should be easy
enough to set the new sheet path with no annotation without changing any
existing sheet path annotation. I'm not sure about annotating the new
sheet path from the existing sheet path. If a schematic has more than
one sheet path, which one do you use when creating a new sheet?

If you have time to look at, please go ahead and fix it. We definitely
should not be clearing existing sheet path information.
