I did the switches with the idea that I would be writing on patch sheets by
hand with a pen. Later, I could "do them up nice" in Visio for binding, but
I figured it's faster to just write on paper sheets while I'm working. So
with that in mind, I was just going to circle the applicable switch
position.
To do it nice in Visio directly, hmmm... I mean, with Visio it would be real
easy to drag a circle over the switch, or to drag a square onto it and
black-out the switch position(s) not in use. I'll have to play with that and
see what looks best. Maybe even just ungroup the module and delete the text
from the unused switch settings.
Visio is very programmable. Again, someone more clever that I can probably
find a way to embed some code or an ActiveX control that would let you click
on the switch and toggle the text back and forth! That's beyond me, though.

Ken,
This is great stuff! I see that I'm going to need to get a copy of
Visio for my
home machine in order to take advantage of your handy work. Please keep
it coming!
One question: I like the option of drawing a line or using a number for
the know
settings, what are the options for the switch settings?
