Help drawing a custom transformer

How do I draw a transformer with a total of 11 secondary taps? And how do I draw a rotary switch with 8 positions, single wiper? There doesn’t seem to be any such symbols available.

In instances where we do not have the symbol available on Schemeit I use one of the Custom Symbols > Symbol Primitives like the rectangle and add the corresponding pins to this basic shape. Then Insert > Image to overlay an image on top. I made a crude example here https://www.digikey.com/schemeit/project/crudenewproject-EKFUNQ0403RG/.

One way to draw your secondary is to use the Air Core Center Tap 2 symbol and place copies like this…

Thanks for this - I will give it a try.

Thanks for this - I have actually used this and then added a primary using an iron cored choke symbol. I have another problem. Whilst The transformer has 2 secondaries, one with 8 lead outs and the other is separate centre tapped winding. I can add this in but how do I connect up the lamination symbol?

Here is one way using port pins, not sure it will suffice, feel free to edit and a copy if you wish…
