If you open more than one drawing at once, each will have its own tab above the drawing area.

At the top-left corner of this area are two tabs: one is for the current drawing (which will have a name like 'Drawing1') and the other can take you back to the Start screen.

The drawing area is the part of the workspace with a gridded background.

Once you've opened a drawing, take some time to acquaint yourself with the locations of menus and tools: Years ago when I contacted Adobe about allowing color and background changes to the pdf reader they bent over backwards to accomodate (thank you Adobe), and I feel sure AutoDesk will do the same thing once they become aware of the problem inside of their bubble.Familiarize yourself with the workspace layout. All I have is access to these forums, and I do appreciate the help and suggestions. I find it hard to believe that they consciously are doing this, I prefer to think that it was an oversight, however Autodesk has a bad habit of hiding unless I'm willing to spend $$$ on paid help even though this is a new purchase. That in itself is not a bad thing, but they should not discard 'us' (me included) onto the pile if human rejects just because nature gave us poor vision. I understand that the feature I'm looking for is available in the ful version ($$$$) so all I can conclude is AutoDesk does not give a hoot about people with impaired vision and all they worry about is the bottom line. Thanks but I mentioned this: See my item #3 it is not a solution because the text goes away, and the toolbar icons remain the same small size. Unfortunately there is NO 'USE LARGE BUTONS FOR TOOLBARS' check box in Inventor 2014 LT. Plus what you found for the Ribbon as you noted.Įverything else is controlled by Windows Display settings for the most part.' Then same location, next CheckBox down, to resize Ribbon icons (or look up RIBBONICONSIZE system variable).

'AutoCAD's OPTIONS command, DISPLAY tab, check the box USE LARGE BUTONS FOR TOOLBARS. I posted this message to the Instalaltion forum: Please DO NOT refer me to that silly Windows Magnifier it's a joke and MS should be ashamed of it. Becasue of my poor vision I have Dual 30' monitors with resolution 2560X1600 to assist with my need to display larger text and icons in other programs. I undersatnd for smaller monitors all of the above would limit the drawing area. ( am able to select Ribbob 'Large' but then the text goes away)Ĥ) Browser: Everthing in browser needs to be Twice the size (at least). 1) Toolbar Icons: I really need them to be twice the size.Ģ) Menu Text: Again twice the size (at least)ģ) Ribbon Icons: Twice the size WITH text and text twice the size.
