  Incident Diagnosis:
  The Selection object documentation was not
  precise enough.
  .
  Correction Explanation:
  In the documentation obtained surfing the following
  way:
  - Automation Documentation Home Page
  - Middleware
  - Infrastructure Automation API Reference
  - Selection
  - header
  we add:
  Note: The Selection object can be accessed
  through the Document.Selection property .
  However, when the active window contains the tree
  described above, the Selection object to use is the
  one associated to the Product3 Document , which
  can be accessed through the application of the
  Document.Selection to this document. You will, for
  example, determine the Selection object the
  following way:
  .
  Set ActiveProductDocument =
  CATIA.ActiveDocument
  .
  Set Product3 = ActiveProductDocument.Product
  .
  Set Product3Products = Product3.Products
  .
  Set Product2Dot1 = Product3Products.Item
  ("Product2.1") : Set Product2 =
  Product2Dot1.ReferenceProduct
  .
  Set ProductDocument2 = Product2.Parent
  .
  Set Product2Products = Product2.Products
  .
  Set Product1Dot1 = Product2Products.Item
  ("Product1.1") : Set Product1 =
  Product1Dot1.ReferenceProduct
  .
  Set ProductDocument1 = Product1.Parent
  .
  Set Product1Products = Product1.Products
  .
  Set Part1Dot1 = Product1Products.Item
  ("Part1.1") : Set Part1 =
  Part1Dot1.ReferenceProduct
  .
  Set PartDocument1 = Part1.Parent
  .
  Set Selection = ActiveProductDocument.Selection
  .
  .
  Another Selection object, such as:
  .
  Set ProductDocument2Selection =
  ProductDocument2.Selection
  Set ProductDocument1Selection =
  ProductDocument1.Selection
  Set PartDocument1Selection =
  PartDocument1.Selection
  .
  (lets take ProductDocument2Selection for example)
  can only be used if, among the different Window ,
  there is at least one whose root Document is
  ProductDocument2 . Otherwise, results are
  unpredictable.
  .
  Answer and By-Pass:
  No bypass.
  .
