If this is issue, lets use only Categories=Graphics; (also do not forget to add Comment= entry)

Hello, do we have a Scientific or Hobbying category? ( Graphics is nice anyway)

Yes, you could set ANY category (and not only one!), but usually other CAD software use Graphics.

Please see https://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html and whatever you do, please check your desktop file with the desktop-file-validate tool to ensure it does not produce errors or warnings. Thanks!
