I am going to briefly respond just to give you an idea on how to proceed. You are going to have to use your picture and create this footprint in Ultiboard then add it to your Multisim User Database. At that point you can assign it to any one of the switches that are in the Multisim Database through the Spreadsheet (you can;t save it because interactive components can't be saved to the user database). Be advised that in Ultiobard you will not be able to see any type of animation of it opening and closing. You will just see what you have in your picture. You will probably need to refer to the manuals on footprint creation and consult the turtorials on the NI website. It would be difficult to go through a step by step procedure through the forum and if I tried to create a footprint I would have to review this information myself before I could do it.
I have seen these type of switches in remote controls and basically this is a common switch type. I am surprised it is not included in Ultiboard already.
I hope this is of some help to you.
