Multi-electrical switch object

Anonymous

Goodmorning forum!
I was wondering if anyone found/created an object that kind of combine all the electrical switches,such as 1-pole, 2-pole, dimmer, etc.
So you can have a one-size-fits-all, per se, switch for placement, listings etc.
If not, any ideas on how we can make it happen?
On the top of my head, the main problem that need to be solved is creating a drop down menu that let you select the type you want and change the 2d symbol accordingly.

The eletrigon objects (switch and outlet) do at least some of what you are wishing for. They were written a number of years ago but still function fine in the latest versions of AC. You can find them in the depository here Electrigon

Thank you for the reply Erich, from taking a quick look at them, they are 50% of what I was looking, so the glass is half full
I think I might give the object creation a go, even if I don't make it, I'll learn alot!
