Here's a simple Lisp routine for obtaining data from an integrated GNSS receiver. It works by sending a small script to PowerShell, which writes the data to a file named 'pos.txt' saved in the Documents folder. I've only tested it on a single device, but it should work on any device equipped with an integrated GNSS receiver. The data is stored in latitude/longitude format, so each user will need to transform those coordinates into the desired coordinate reference system. To stop logging the data, simply close the PowerShell window This is just a starting point for anyone who wants to adapt it to their own needs. ;************************ G L A V C V S ************************* ;************************** F E C I T *************************** ;;;THIS CODE STARTS GNSS RECEIVER AND WRITES DATA TO A FILE CALLED 'pos.txt' IN THE My Docments FOLDER (defun startGNSS (/ cmd sh dir cad ur) (setq dir (VL-REGISTRY-READ "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders" "Personal" ) ) (if (setq sh (vlax-create-object "WScript.Shell")) (progn (if (and (or (setq ur (getint "\nUpdate rate (milliseconds) <1000>/2000/3000/5000 : ")) (not ur)) (member ur '(nil 1000 2000 3000 5000))) (progn (setq cad (strcat "Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Device" (chr 13) (chr 10) "# 1) Conectar con AutoCAD abierto" (chr 13) (chr 10) "$outFile = \'" dir "\\pos.txt\'" (chr 13) (chr 10) "try {" (chr 13) (chr 10) " $acad = [Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::GetActiveObject(\'AutoCAD.Application."
