KXL command : GetFastenerData

This KXL function works in KeyCreator 2020 only.
This is very useful for me to add Entity name for Fasteners and to build BOM.

I'm working for one customer with KeyCreator 13.5.
Kubotek, can you add this function for KeyCreator 13.5 too?
Or, alternatively to add a simmilar CDE function?

Here are the codes in KeyCreator 2020

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:read_entity

clear hEnt , hLev
HENTITY hEnt
HLEVEL hLev
int nSelFlag = 0
Int nSelParent = 1
Int bSelRefEnts = 0
Int bAccept = 1
bActiveInstFlag = 1

// Selection of Fasteners only
MASKENTITY 0, 35
MASKMAINTAIN 1

GetEnt "Select the component to set the Entity Name", hEnt, , nSelFlag, nSelParent, bSelRefEnts, , bAccept, bActiveInstFlag
if (@key == -3)
goto end
ENTLEVEL hEnt, hLev

//GetFastenerData

clear $strType , $strLength ,$strThreadLen
string $strType , $strLength , $strThreadLen

GetFastenerData hEnt , $strType, $strLength, $strThreadLen

//Retrieves the type and size data of a fastener.
// hFastener
//The Handle to the fastener entity
// strType
//The returned string of the type
// strLength
//The returned string of the part length
// [strThreadLen]
//The returned string of thread length

clear $new_name
string $new_name

sprint $new_name , "%s \nsize %s" , $strType , $strLength
:create_entity_name

StrMakeUpper $new_name
SetLevelDescriptor hLev, $new_name
setLevel hLev
notestate

clear $$acsStandard , $$acsUser

SList $$acsStandard
SList $$acsUser
Sprint $$acsStandard[1] , "%s" , $new_name
SetEntityProperties hEnt , $new_name , $$acsStandard , $$acsUser
notestate

goto read_entity

:end
MASKCLEAR
MASKMAINTAIN 0
