How to use Sensors for Sheet Metal | SOLIDWORKS
You can use sensors to alert you when a sheet metal body deviates from the limits specified for a bounding box.
During the design process, if the model exceeds the bounding box parameters, an alert appears in the FeatureManager. You can then double-click an alert to see the values in the Cut-List Properties dialog box.
