At one time (mid-nineties) we had SAW Selection Sets for Corel Draw which some switch users had success with. There doesn't seem to be anything on the ACE web site about updates or replacements so perhaps no-one has been working on that problem recently. Perhaps someone needs look at this again for a current (not too expensive) drawing package - Serif DrawPlus maybe? Of course any mouse/keyboard emulator should work but it can be a pretty inefficient process and frustratingly slow for the user concerned. The efficiency gains from using a custom selection set/grid are probably well worth it.

Subject: Switch control of Drawing Package
We have an graphical artist with MS who would like to access a drawing package with one or two switches.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks,
