CanvasSelection Object

The CanvasSelection object is more generic than the Selection object and allows the user to interact with the graphical selections set for the current document in both 2D and 3D. For example it provides Programmable Macro Language (PML) access to the selection in both the 2D DRAW canvas and the 3D canvas in Model and Draw.

Note:
That it only operates in graphical mode, not in TTY mode.

Unlike the Selection object, the CanvasSelection object allow PML access to the 2D canvas. This does not replace the Selection object for 3D which continues to provide more specialist and powerful access to the selection set in the 3D canvas.
