That's because it's in the next version. ;-)

We're just about to make a release today or tomorrow, but if you are really
itching to go, you can download the latest version from:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/release/nightly

In the Data Chooser tab, you'll see a new tab for Fronts.  Currently, this only
allows you to get the current front bulletin that the NWS puts out.  You can
also use the Drawing Control to draw fronts with this release.
