Try the Lutherie Information Website for CAD files in .zip format. There is a lot of information on that site.

There is a switch outline for a 3 or 5 position switch in the ElecPts.zip file, but I don't know if it is the shape you need. I assume that you make the pocket deep enough to insert the switch assembly.

Cavity dimension with clearance:
Length 2.4"
Width 1.0"
Deep 1.5"

Was that switch outline the one that you needed? Just wondering. The dimensions that I see in CAD do not match the dimensions that kimosabi has posted. There may be different sizes and shapes for different manufacturer switches.

I mean this switch.

The CAD drawing shows:

Width = 0.375"
Plate length = 1.875"
Hole spacing = 1.625"

It looks like it is for the same type of lever switch.

Maybe I don't understand what dimensions you mean, but I mean this (see pic).
All clearances to the switch are ~0,3"

The CAD drawing is for the switch dimensions, not the pocket dimensions. From that information awe_indo would need to decide the dimensions to make the pocket. One dimension that is not shown in the CAD drawing is the depth of the switch.

He would need to have one of the switches available to check that this CAD drawing is for the same size switch. This CAD drawing may not be useful to him.

I have attached a JPG version of the 3 or 5 position switch drawing.
