Hi Vanesa, First off, what kind of data are you trying to export to netCDF? Not all data can be exported to netCDF in the IDV. In the Displays tab of the IDV Dashboard, select the view of interest on the panel to the left. Then go to the File menu (of the Displays tab, not the Dashboard) and navigate to the Save menu item. There you will find an option labeled "Export Displayed Data to NetCDF...", if it is available. Please keep us up-to-date on your progress.
