Note:
Extraction of scalar time series is not available for rotated pole geodatum types. In some cases extraction of scalar time series can exhibit unexpected behaviour near the North Pole or South Pole.
Extracting longitudinal profiles (Xsections) from a grid time series
...
Note:
Extraction of longitudinal profiles is not available for irregular grids, points and polygons. The profile sketch will be erased when switching to a plot that contains data of one of these types. Extraction of longitudinal profiles is also not available for rotated pole geodatum types. In some cases extraction of longitudinal profiles can exhibit unexpected behaviour for profiles crossing the dateline or located near the North Pole or South Pole.
Note:
If longitudinal profile data is displayed in the spatial display, then there is no need to draw a profile sketch. Just press the F2 key or right click and select 'Show Profile' from the pop-up menu to show the graph of the profile. 
...
Note:
Extraction of data for an area is not available for quadrilateral grids, irregular grids, points and polygons. The area sketch will be erased when switching to a plot that contains data of one of these types. Extraction of data for an area is also not available for rotated pole geodatum types. In some cases extraction of data for an area can exhibit unexpected behaviour for areas crossing the dateline or located near the North Pole or South Pole.
Note:
The green dots only mark grid cells of which the cell centre is inside the area. The actual calculations also use grid cells that are partially inside the area.
Extracting data for multiple plots at once (available since build 18645)
It is possible to extract data for multiple plots at once. In the selection filters select a folder that contains more than one plot (as direct children). The first plot in the folder will be displayed. Then extract scalar time series, longitudinal profiles or data for an area in the usual way. The extracted data for all the plots in the selected folder will be shown in a combined diagram, where each plot has a separate graph.
