Guthrie CAD/GIS Software is a suite of Windows desktop tools for CAD, GIS, and manufacturing quality inspection. Its core products include QA-CAD, CAD Viewer Markup, Arcv2CAD, CAD2Shape, dwgConvert, and others, covering drawing viewing/markup, first article inspection reports, DWG/DXF/PDF conversion, and data conversion between Shapefile and CAD/KML formats.
QA-CAD focuses on FAI/PPAP workflows. It can automatically balloon numbers on PDF, image, and DWG/DXF drawings, use OCR to capture dimensions, tolerances, GD&T, and text, and export AS9102, EN9102, SJAC9102, PPAP, or custom Excel/CSV reports. It emphasizes processing drawing data within local infrastructure rather than uploading it to a third-party cloud, and supports offline or isolated environments. CAD Viewer Markup is better suited to everyday drawing review, supporting DWG, DXF, DWF, PDF, DGN, HPGL, and multiple raster formats, with redline annotations saved separately from the original file. Arcv2CAD and CAD2Shape handle SHP to DWG/DXF/KML and DWG/DXF to SHP/CSV/TXT conversion respectively, with support for attributes, layers, 3D, elevation, batch processing, and command-line operation.
The products are primarily sold as one-time perpetual licenses. QA-CAD starts at USD 1195 per user for a standard license and USD 1585 per concurrent user for a network license; an annual subscription starting at USD 399/year is also mentioned. CAD Viewer Markup costs USD 75 per user for a standard license and USD 180 per concurrent user for a network license. The Arcv2CAD pricing page uses two different descriptions—starting at USD 249 and USD 175 per user—so buyers should confirm before purchasing. Most products offer a trial, 1 year of updates, 1 year of email support, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
The strengths are its clearly defined vertical use cases, broad format coverage, no dependency on AutoCAD/ArcGIS, and support for local and offline deployment, making it suitable for controlled technical drawing environments. The downsides are that it is mainly Windows-only, with a relatively traditional interface and delivery model; there is no obvious open API/SDK, and automation appears to rely mostly on command-line tools. The documentation also reads more like sales material than systematic developer documentation.
It is better suited to manufacturing quality teams, aerospace supply chains, surveying/GIS conversion workflows, and engineering drawing review teams, rather than general software development teams. The available text does not clarify accessibility or payment options from China, so it is advisable to download the trial first and confirm connectivity, invoicing, and payment methods. If you prefer an open-source or local alternative, consider QGIS; if you are already in the Autodesk/Esri ecosystem, compare AutoCAD Map 3D, Civil 3D, and ArcGIS Pro; for FAI workflows, compare InspectionXpert or SOLIDWORKS Inspection.
