How to activate VoiceOver to read dimensions, and locations of objects and toggling

I am a Teacher of Student with Visual Impairments.  My student is using a Mac Air and VoiceOver while using AutoCad.  VoiceOver will read the different buttons but he is having some trouble with activating VoiceOver to read dimensions and locations of certain objects or how to toggle between objects.  is there a cheatsheet with VoiceOver commands?

Hi Gabriella,

I'm afraid VoiceOver doesn't support reading anything inside AutoCAD drawing area.
Here is the description of VoiceOver technology from Apple:
"VoiceOver is a built-in screen reader that describes aloud what appears on your computer screen: it speaks the text that’s in documents and windows."
Objects inside AutoCAD drawing window, including dimensions and coordinates, are not texts from the VoiceOver point of view, so it cannot read them.
In 2020 and 2021 versions of AutoCAD VoiceOver only can read "Rolover tooltips" if they are enabled in AutoCAD preferences.
