Hi
Back again.
The visible difference (what i can see) is in the attribute of variable
Lambert_Conformal where in CF is only one parallel, but we got two -
standard_parallel_1 and standard_parallel_2.
here is a sample file:

Some more info below.

Hi Lukas:
It can be a subtle problem to diagnose if a file is "really" following
CF correctly.
You could try sending your file through here:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/cdmValidate.html
and see if the results are helpful.
Outcome of validation:
Summary:
* Dataset contains useable gridded data.
* Some variables are not gridded fields; check that is what you expect.
Convention= CF-1.0

Seems to be fine
Or look at it in the ToolsUI program (Coordinate System Tab) and see
what the INFO button tells you.

Hello
I'm using idv 2.2b2, is it automatically using the information in the
netcdf header to draw the grid according to set up projection?
Because it is still showing data in original lat-lon projection.
I just don't know if this is idv feature or bug.
The data in netcdf file follow CF convention.
Thank you
Lukas
