Double Switch. This element switches currents on and off, and can change the current flow from one circuit to another. Place up to five double switches in the simulation window. With the Select tool, you can move and rotate switches, and wire them to other objects. You attach wires to the switch's three nodes, which are indicated by the yellow rectangles in Figures 1 and 2.

The default position of the switch is off. You can flip the switch on or off in either Run mode or Stop mode. To flip the switch in Realistic View, click on the metallic handle of the switch and drag it into one of the start (or stop) positions (displayed in Figures 1, 2, and 3).

To flip the switch in Schematic View, click in the switch box in the part closest to the desired switch position (Figures 4, 5, and 6).
