Article: [senit] Screen Magnifiers and CAD software

Hi Matt

I have a Microsoft Wireless mouse with a little button on the side, which,
when pressed, produces a sort of magnifying glass on the screen, which I can
move round with the mouse.

"Microsoft Windows Notebook Optical Mouse 4000"

Just a thought.

Regards

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
