| Switch Symbols |
I initially had a single switch call that handled many different types of switches. However, that made the function very complicated to use. So I cut back to defining several types. Like Toggle, Slide, Push Button, etc..
| Switch (Toggle || Slide) (SPST || SPDT || DPST || DPDT) |
Description: Draws a Toggle Switch starting at point Lib_S_Start_X, Lib_S_Start_Y.
Where:
Lib_S_RefDes - Reference Designator = "S1" || "S2" || etc.
Lib_S_Label - Switch Label = "None " || "Power" || "On/Off" || etc.
Lib_S_Type - Switch Type = "Toggle" || "Slide"
Lib_S_Contact - Switch Contact = "SPST" || "SPDT" || "DPST" || "DPDT"
Lib_S_End_Swap - Switch Ends = "Norm" || "Swap"
Lib_S_Label_Flip - Flip RefDes/Label = "Norm" || "Flip"
Lib_S_Rot - Switch Rotation = "R0" || "R90", || "R180" || "R270" degrees
To create DP, 3P, or 4P switches, use multiple instances of the SPST or SPDT switch.
The table below is just for testing purposes and does not include all of the possible parameters that can be passed. Parameters like Lib_S_RefDes and Lib_S_Label can be any ascii string.
| Parameter | Description | Example | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lib_S_Dwg_Obj | jsGraphics Object that points to the drawing. |
S1 Power |
|
| Lib_S_RefDes | Switch Reference Designator ("S1" || "S2" || "S1-A"). |
|
|
| Lib_S_Label | Arbitrary Switch Label ("Power" || "On/Off" || etc.) |
|
|
| Lib_S_Type, Lib_S_Contact | Type - "Toggle" || "Toggle Ctr Off" || "Slide" Contact "SPST" || "SPDT" || "DPST" || "DPST Inv" || "DPDT" |

Return: The switch In_X/Y and Out_X/Y are returned. In the case of Double Pole switches, InA_X/Y, InB_X/Y, OutA_X/Y and OutB_X/Y will be returned.
Note: A Lib_S_Swap value of "Swap" will swap the switch inputs and outputs. A Lib_S_Label_Loc value of "Flip" will flip the RefDes and Label from above to below the switch.
Usage: The selections from the table above, are used to create the example below. After selecting and entering your specific information, the example can be used directly, with a copy/paste. The items in Red are the only ones that need to be adjusted to your specific needs. The lines in Green are just comments and can be deleted. Due to space limitations, some of the lines below may be split onto more than one line.
