Thanks Frank,

But it seems I'm doing something wrong. I tried to convert file from 
dgnsamp.zip dateset downloaded from the dgnlib site 
(http://dgnlib.maptools.org/) and here is what I get:

mloskot at dog:~/download/dgn$ ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" samp4.shp samp4.dgn

ERROR 1: Attempt to write non-linestring (POINT) geometry to ARC type 
shapefile.ERROR 1: Terminating translation prematurely after failed
translation of layer elements

Am I misusing ogr2ogr?

Cheers
