Subject: [senit] Screen Magnifiers and CAD software

Hi all,

I don't know if anyone can help me but we have a visually-impaired learner
here who is studying Computer Aided Design.  Unfortunately the Windows
magnifier available through Accessibility Options is not compatible with the
CAD software.  Does anyone know of anything else that may work?

Many thanks,

Matt
