Eagle library for 12 position rotary switch from CTS? (Now with a picture!)

And my thought was that this along with the combo XLR/TRS jack right angle mounted would look ok. Also, I figured potentially shorter better shielded runs to the gain resistors are more likely to reject noise. Any reason why a right angle board mount would be bad, other than having to make the case line up?

Search for CK101X12 in your library. It has the 30deg angle that your CTS switch does. The only thing that might be weird is where the pole solder point is located. At which point I don't know how set on that switch you are but 10SM159 from mouser should fit that foot print and it's cheaper.
I'm not sure I understand your right angle question/typed thought process. If your switch is board mounted why would you mount your XLR jacks at a right angle? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, which happen quite regularly.

This would be the perfect time to learn how to create your own library part. I can't believe how many errors I've found in "stock" eagle libs. I pretty much make everything myself now.

do you recall which library it is in? It didn't show in my Eagle 5.10 library search.
Thanks!

Well I ordered the wrong part. I ordered the only non-pcb version from mouser. Which might explain the confusion.

go here http://www.engineering.uiowa.edu/~eshop/Eagle/lbr/ scroll down to the switch.lbr link, download then put it in your eagle library folder. Don't forget that when you open eagle after this you need to expand the library tab in the control panel and click the grayed out dot next to the newly added part library(should turn green) to make sure eagle loads it for you.
Then to check if the file is correct with your part, just print out and compare.
