Hi @yahyasyd190MQUXY 

If you have a load case with only SW you may let this box unchecked  then Robot will automatically convert SW to mass.
If you have SW mixed with other dead loads then you must tick the box and convert to mass these dead loads by yourself

The 2 pictures are completly independant.
The 1st one is about an equivalente force method which doesn't need to run a modal calculation first, so Robot ask you if you want or not to disregard the density.
The 2nd one is about a modal calculation which is followed by a seismic calculation.

But in a version like 2019 robot it wasn't excited so what is the new property now?

Does it mean they were calculating automatically disregard or what?

Thanks 

But last question

Does the equivalent method take the mass from the conversion?

@yahyasyd190MQUXY 

Not automaticly
You must convert load cases acting in seismic case by your self. Except Selfweight if you let "Disregard density" box unchecked.
