Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA.
  .
  RESTRICTION EXPLANATION-
  The ApplyWorkMode is performed on object that
  are not visualised (sub product level), but there are
  some instance visualised ( Root product level ).
  .
  BY-PASS
  The ApplyWorkMode should be called on the
  visualised level ( when there is a visualised one ).
  In the your case, the visualised level is the Editor
  level, here the Product1.CATProduct that is
  attached to the editor.
  .
  Another ByPass is that before running the macro,
  Open in other editors Product2.CATProduct and
  Product3.CATProduct.
