hi, what system to say to the laser cut to interrupt the sheet when holes or sunshades are too close to the fold line and for that would be deformed during the fold itself?
Hi.
 
It doesn't seem like a solidworks question.. .

However, first of all we need to know how much "near": 5mm? 2mm? 1mm?
When does the hole deform? when the hole, even partially, is located inside the bending quarry?
How do you know if this happens? you should know that quarry will be used to bend.

What solutions can be adopted?
if possible use a smaller fold quarry possible so that the hole is out of it.
if it is not possible you can make a cut on the fold line (see image) so as to download the deformation; cut that subsequently if necessary will be welded

near, or rather too close as I wrote, I mean that the hole is still, although partially, inside the quarry assumed the value of 8 x sp as a minimum parameter of the edge beyond the fold line. Of course you can reduce the quarry but depends a lot on the thickness of the sheet.
by solutions I mean what you do on the sheet, with sw, not on the fold tools.
the solution that you see in the image is not adoptable as if the lines that define the shape of the cut are too close, some tenth of mm, you will get first a cut then with the next step on the adjacent line a snooze with relative drooling. better, definitely better a knife cut, without removal of material besides the thickness defined by the ø of the cutting beam. the geometry that is sent to the laser cut is that contained in the .dxf file, which for obvious reasons should not be changed maually, much more if you use a pdm, not to lose the parameterity and connection to the geometry in case of a new component generated from the previous one.

I used this solution a lot of times without problems. in the scheme that I had was all sized according to the thickness; cutting width, horizontal cut size, vertical cut size. I don't remember the width, maybe 0.5mm maybe 1mm... were however values found after test in the workshop
