Hey, I am trying to use Eppy for the first time and I have a question (from the Tutorial) regarding :

• iddfile = "../eppy/resources/iddfiles/Energy+V7_2_0.idd"
• fname1 = "../eppy/resources/idffiles/V_7_2/smallfile.idf"

As I understand, the idd file is an input data dictionary file which contains a list of all possible EnergyPlus objects and a specification of the data each object requires. So the .idd file is the same for all projectes, right? So shound i create a new file (in the Tutorial) iddfile, or should i set the path to " C:\EnergyPlusV8-1-0\Energy+.idd"? Thank you for your help!

I tried to copy the file C:\EnergyPlusV8-1-0\Energy+.idd in the working directory. Then I set: fname1 = "D:\Tools\EnergyPlus \Energy+.idd" error: IDDAlreadySetError: IDD file is set to: ../eppy/resources/iddfiles/Energy+V7_2_0.idd

Thank you for your help!
