Creating multiple *DEFORMABLE_TO_RIGID and _INERTIA cards
In addition to the standard creation/modification of these standard keywords, we use "Multiple" option to create cards with different "PID", keeping the remaining fields same.
Example:
Fill all the fields expect PID with the required data. Right-click on the PID field and select MULTIPLE option from the popup.
Next, from the object menu select the required parts and hit apply
Multiple cards will be created as shown in the following figure.

The _AUTOMATIC case has its own menu because it doesn't fit into the standard keyword layout. Define the number of D2R and R2D conversions, and the rows beneath will become active, allowing the user to enter part ids.
