VPAT Voluntary Product Accessibility Template Version 1.3The purpose of the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template, or VPAT , is toassist Federal contracting officials and other buyers in making preliminaryassessments regarding the availability of commercial “Electronic and InformationTechnology” products and services with features that support accessibility.Autodesk provides this information to help our customers understand theaccessibility features of this Autodesk product in the context of the Section 508standards. This was done with the intent to enable agencies to be compliant withthe Section 508 regulations. This document is not intended to be a certification ofcompliance.The first table of the Template provides a summary view of the Section 508Standards. The subsequent tables provide more detailed views of eachsubsection. There are three columns in each table. Column one of theSummary Table describes the subsections of subparts B and C of the Standards.The second column describes the supporting features of the product or refersyou to the corresponding detailed table, e.g., “equivalent facilitation." The thirdcolumn contains any additional remarks and explanations regarding the product.In the subsequent tables, the first column contains the lettered paragraphs of thesubsections. The second column describes the supporting features of theproduct with regard to that paragraph. The third column contains any additionalremarks and explanations regarding the product.Date: Friday, February 21, 2014Name of Product: Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture 2015Contact for more Information (name/phone/email):business.services@autodesk.com (415-507-5000)

Keyboard inputis provided formost commands.A command lineenables the userto type incommandsdirectly and tospecify otherinput.Supports keytipsfor ribbon tabsand mostwidgets in theribbon.(a) When software is designed torun on a system that has akeyboard, product functions shallbe executable from a keyboardwhere the function itself or theresult of performing a function canbe discerned textually.Supports withExceptionsWhen panels areminimized,keytips don’twork. The Panelminimizefunction doesnot have akeyboard accessmethod.Providesinconsistentinformationabout userinterfaceelements via theMicrosoft AccessibilityApplications.For example,ribbon text andtooltips are notavailable toMicrosoftNarrator. Tooltipequivalents ofribbon buttontext are

provided, butaudio versionsare notsupported.Toolbar andribbon buttonimages havetextualequivalents.(b) Applications shall not disrupt ordisable activated features of otherproducts that are identified asaccessibility features, where thosefeatures are developed anddocumented according to industrystandards. Applications also shallnot disrupt or disable activatedSupportsfeatures of any operating systemthat are identified as accessibilityfeatures where the applicationprogramming interface for thoseaccessibility features has beendocumented by the manufacturer ofthe operating system and isavailable to the product developer.Testing hasindicated thatthe AutoCADArchitecturesoftwareprogram doesnot disrupt theaccessibilityfeatures of otherproducts on theuser’s system.(c) A well-defined on-screenindication of the current focus shallbe provided that moves amonginteractive interface elements asthe input focus changes. The focusshall be programmatically exposedso that Assistive Technology cantrack focus and focus changes.Focus isprogrammaticallyexposed throughthe commandline scripting,Microsoft VisualBasic forApplications(VBA), and theC programminginterface.Supports(d) Sufficient information about auser interface element including theidentity, operation and state of theelement shall be available toSupportsAssistive Technology. When animage represents a programelement, the information conveyedby the image must also beAutoCADArchitecturesoftwareprovidesinformation tothe user via theMicrosoft ActiveAccessibility

available in text.application.(e) When bitmap images are usedto identify controls, statusindicators, or other programmaticelements, the meaning assigned tothose images shall be consistentthroughout an application'sperformance.SupportsBitmap imagesand actionsassociated withthem areconsistent.SupportsA text windowrecords the logof what is beingdone. This logfile can besaved.Supports withExceptionsApplication doesnot overridecontrast andcolor selections.Testing showsthat theapplicationperforms wellunder highcontrast settings.The user canalso changecolor settings.(f) Textual information shall beprovided through operating systemfunctions for displaying text. Theminimum information that shall bemade available is text content, textinput caret location, and textattributes.(g) Applications shall not overrideuser selected contrast and colorselections and other individualdisplay attributes.(h) When animation is displayed,the information shall be displayablein at least one non-animatedSupportspresentation mode at the option ofthe user.Animateddisplays areincluded onlywithin theproduct’s helpsystem. Thesameinformation isdocumented withboth text andimages.(i) Color coding shall not be usedas the only means of conveyinginformation, indicating an action,prompting a response, ordistinguishing a visual element.Color-coding isnot used as theonly means ofconveyinginformation. TheSupports

user can enter acolor index or, incertain cases, anRGB value.Users can alsouse predefinednamed colors asdescribed byPANTONE ,RAL, and DIC color systems.(j) When a product permits a userto adjust color and contrastsettings, a variety of colorselections capable of producing arange of contrast levels shall beprovided.(k) Software shall not use flashingor blinking text, objects, or otherelements having a flash or blinkfrequency greater than 2 Hz andlower than 55 Hz.SupportsAutoCADArchitectureprovides a widevariety of colorselections. Theuser has theability tocustomize theapplicationwindow. Userscan also usepredefinednamed colors asdescribed byPANTONE, RAL,and DIC.SupportsAutoCADArchitecturedoes not useflashing orblinking text.(l) When electronic forms are used,the form shall allow people usingAssistive Technology to access theinformation, field elements, andSupportsfunctionality required for completionand submission of the form,including all directions and cues.Microsoft ActiveAccessibilityapplicationssuch as Narratorcan be used toaccessparticulars of thecomponents of aform or dialogbox.
