I do not know whether this will help.
With the IDFeditor, the option available in the IDD file is usually displayed on one of the panes.
When a class is selected, open a new object, both the IDF fields and the options are displayed, as you scroll down the IDF fields.
You can do this without a full working IDF. What you have completed can be saved, copied and pasted to another working IDF object by object for simulation.
This sub-IDF is acting like your own note, which can store all your objects you wanted to try related to the current project.
If you wanted to print the IDF and the IDD example together, copy a section from IO Ref Manual and save it in .RTF file. You can then edit, add your own notes, and print the copied section of the IDF and IDD. If you have a system to name the files, it will be very easy to re-call them.
The live of the note file is not very long. As the version changes, you may need to up-date them.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Print Utility for the IDF File
| Hello, I am currently trying to make a utility that takes an idf file along with the corresponding idd file and with the help of the idd file print out the idf file in more readable format.So far I have parsed the idd file and created an xml version of it by tagging the classes and fields appropriately. Now using this xml version of the idd file I am trying to print out the idf file along with the corresponding field names. I would like some suggestions as to how to go about printing the whole file as certain classes have a long list of field names and just printing out all the objects as a list in sorted alphabetical order will still make it cumbersome to view. I'd be happy if some of you'll could suggest any possible output formats that you'll may have in mind. Regards, Ishan |
