Rotary micro switch

Yes if you aren't already familiar with an svg editor it is a fair learning curve. However once you are familiar it gets easier, so try this part and see if it does what you need. I did the pcb section of this from the data sheet and without a part on hand so before committing to a board I'd advise printing a copy of the pcb at 1:1 and checking the layout against a real part to see that it is correct. The pads thickness is a little less than usual because the normal 20 thou pads don't have enough clearance. As a result I suspect you may need a fab house to cut the boards doing your own may not work as the switch pads are around a 10 thou clearance. The pad with the square is pin 0 (the common pin) and the one to its right is pin 1. The switch may be the other way as the data sheet doesn't say if the pcb layout is component side (as I assumed) or solder side, so that is also something to check (it is easy for me to flip the pads if it is wrong). Breadboard view is reduced to about twice the size of the real part.
