I find the problem with the standard symbols for selector switches is that if you have contacts closed in more than one position, you have trouble showing it.

 

I use the AS standard which is based on the IEC standard and created my own symbols for selector switches.

 

The attached ZIP holds the blocks I use for selector switches. They allow infinite combinations while showing what pocitions the particular contact is in.

The picture shows a Local/Test/Remote switch we use in a HV CB control panel.

Closed positions are shown by the block while the open position shows as the dotted line.

If required, the contacts could have had 2 positions closed as shown in the next picture of a different switch's XREF table.
