I couldn't resist, in Tcl I need this:

# Assume a 3D model is active, 
# and contains only one (to make the result clear) Csys with feature ID 11
# The Csys/Type/Geom ID off the Csys is 58
# No error checking in this code here

# Create Selection Object 'selObj' is the name of the object
ps_sel selObj

# Now ask the user to select a 'csys' (controls goes to Creo)
selObj select csys

# back from Creo, get the model item, note you selected a CSYS and not a FEATURE
selObj modelitem miObj

# Get the CSYS GeomID, after this command, GeomID will hold 58 
set GeomID [miObj cget -id]

# Get the Feature ID, after this command FeatID will hold the Value '11'
set FeatID [ps_geom to_feat_ids CSYS $GeomID]

For the selection only, 2 lines of code Smiley Very Happy

That's simple, you have the model handel, and the feature ID, now you can get the feature name with this two references. In Tcl, working on the current model:

 

# Get the Feature Name
set FeatName [ps_feat name $FeatID]
