Manual scritpting of thread features outside what comes valid in fusion 360

On creating a bolt through the sample script, and studying the thread profiles, we see that only certain designations are allowed for each size for a thread type like ISO metric , are these ones,s the only valid in Fusion 360 design or is there a way to manually set designation based on same size but varying pitch which is what the different available designations exactly do. 
Also wanted to know the same about the thread class, are there only the fixed few which appear on clicking the arrow down button that are valid or any way to manually set them which would also lead to valid bolt generation, I am actually looking forward to generating a table of all available thread type, for each thread type all avaiable sizes and for each size all the available designations and class,  would highly appreciate if someone could clarify this queries and also help with the script part for the data generation and store that as a txt file for example i have attached a part of script that i wrote which only gives me all avaiable threadTypes but as a list form, i need it to be formatted into a table through the script itself and also mention the units in which the thread sizes are measured which is stored in threadTypes .

Hola.

Los parámetros de todas las roscas de fusion se guardan en esta ruta:

C:\Users\"usuario"\AppData\Local\Autodesk\webdeploy\production\a149862fb7ea9992fe404b5bfb2aef9540b36671\Fusion\Server\Fusion\Configuration\ThreadData

Esta carpeta a149862fb7ea9992fe404b5bfb2aef9540b36671 es la versión actual, debes elegir la mas reciente, ya que las versiones anteriores van quedando ahi pero sin nada dentro.

En esa ultima carpeta ThreadData están todos los archivos XML con todas las familias de roscas que contiene Fusion.

Si consigues archivos con otras roscas que te interesen tienes que colocarlos en esta ubicacion, reiniciar fusion y ahí te van a aparecer.

Debido a que el archivo tiene que tener cierta forma, me hice una herramienta que le doy el diametro y el paso y me hace el archivo listo para colocar en la carpeta destino.

Hello.

The parameters for all Fusion 360 threads are stored in this path:

C:\Users\"user"\AppData\Local\Autodesk\webdeploy\production\a149862fb7ea9992fe404b5bfb2aef9540b36671\Fusion\Server\Fusion\Configuration\ThreadData

The folder a149862fb7ea9992fe404b5bfb2aef9540b36671 is the current version. You need to choose the most recent one, as older versions remain there but are usually empty.

Inside the last ThreadData folder, you’ll find all the XML files containing the thread families available in Fusion 360.

If you get XML files for other threads you're interested in, you need to place them in this location, restart Fusion 360, and they will appear in the list.

Since the XML file needs to follow a specific structure, I created a tool where I input the diameter and pitch, and it generates a ready-to-use file that can be placed in the destination folder.
