[IDV #FPM-280591]: ISL export to netCDF

Vic,

According to the documentation, 'Currently, the only display attribute 
available for the export tag is 
display="class:ucar.unidata.idv.control.ObsListControl" or an ID of a display 
control that refers to an instance of the ObsListControl (e.g. a Point Data 
List display for METAR data).'

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/isl/DataAndDisplays.html

So I interpret from the documentation that this functionality is currently not 
possible for gridded data. We are looking into implementing this functionality 
for gridded data. 

A possible workaround would be to use Jython to achieve your objectives.

Best Wishes,

Unidata IDV Support
