I doubt the notability of this--almost all the refs are from the firm's own site  DGG ( talk ) 20:14, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: I added a reference linking to a one-paragraph 3rd party review but I don't think that or anything else that I can see (mainly routine announcements) demonstrates notability in terms of WP:NSOFT and WP:GNG at this point. AllyD (talk) 07:32, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as mentioned because this is still questionably solidly notable and improvable. SwisterTwister   talk  06:13, 13 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep – Meets WP:GNG per the journal sources and bylined articles below. Specialized computer-aided design software such as this is typically not going to receive coverage in "mainstream" sources (e.g. CNN, Fox News, Computerworld, PC Magazine, etc.) The sources listed below appear to be reliable, and independent of the software publisher.
