actually this depends what editing mode you are in.<br>
<br>
if your project is saved in detailed edit mode (ddedit) this is correct.<br>
<br>
if your project is saved in wizard edit mode this is not correct.
wizard mode writes to the pd2 file and overwrites any changes made in
the .inp file every time you finish/exit the wizard. this is why there
is a warning dialog when switching to/from detailed edit mode that
tells you changes you make in detailed mode will not be saved when
entering wizard edit mode. <br>
<br>
if your project is in wizard edit mode then you can modify the .pd2
file when you are not in equest and you will see those changes
reflected next time you open equest and open the file. i have added
multiple ac-units to .pd2 files so they show up in wizard mode without
my having to create them via the wizard, or copy one to create 5 more
of the same packaged unit variety & then edit the tonnage or cfm.
i have also, when changing zones, copied and pasted from previous pd2
files the window code segments into the respective facets after the
wizard erases all of the custom windows (like it tells you it will)
when you modify a zone size (or a roof).<br>

<div>The .INP file is the raw data entry in DOE-2.,2 that the eQuest
.PD2 recognizes to formulate a run. The .BDL file is the "digested"
input information after DOE-2.2 (the engine) error checks the input.
The core program actually uses the .BDL file for its input.</div>

<div>I suppose you could change the .BDL file. But the eQuest front
end (.PD2) displays what is sees in the .INP files NOT the .PD2 file.</div>
