<BR><SPAN LANG="sv"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm using ogr2ogr (included in gdal) to convert a shapefile to Microstation DGN format. The conversion does the job, except that polygons and line strings with too many (38) vertices are converted into complex shapes. What is the reason for this?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="sv"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When I open the DGN-file in Microstation the complex shapes are visible but not possible to select or edit without a lot of work with special tools. Can I do something in the conversion with ogr2ogr to prevent it from creating complex shapes or to make the complex shapes selectable?</FONT></SPAN></P>
