Form evidence
Autodesk IEEE-oriented 3 Position Selector Switches functional form. Autodesk explicitly publishes this block under IEEE Symbol Preview. The counterpart is the matching functional concept; no equivalence of every detailed standard graphic is asserted.

A distinction that matters

Key access does not change the contacts' electrical ratings or establish an isolation function.

A distinction that matters

Key operation adds access control to a selector; it does not change its electrical contact ratings.
