  Is it possible via cut/paste to insert a repeated APDL command to multiple geometric objects at once? I can do it one at a time, but it's a bit tedious. I would to specify the same commands on 300 beams.
  Thanks!

  You can copy/paste the command object from one geometry body to another
  
  It may be better to use a single command object to make the changes. For example, you can insert a command object under the analysis branch and make the changes to the beam
  Example commands to use:
  /prep7 ! go to preprocessor
  esel,s,enam,,188 !select all beam 188 elements
  ________ ! Use commands to modify the selected elements
  allsel ! make all elements active
  /solu !go to solution processor
