1. There may be one type of swage with constant size (height, ).

2. There may be one main type of swage with a number of fixed sizes.

3. A customer may have different types of swaging, each of them with characteristics according to (1) or (2).

Each main type of swage must be assigned a type of its own. Regarding swages of type (2) there is a choice:

5. Each main type has one type with a number of predefined sizes (heights), registered in the swage object.

In case (2), it is necessary to define both the type and a (registered) size when generating a certain swage, in case a) it is enough to define the type.
