<p class="MsoNormal">Afternoon all,<br>
I have a slight issue, there are a number of MapInfo Tab Files which we want to convert to Shapefile, but they do not convert correctly.<br>
The issue arises with Rings/Holes in the Polygons, when you save the TAB file as a shapefile, some of them are not displaying correct, they overlay the hole as another polygon.<br>
The issue seems to be related to the direction the hole was digitised/generated to. The issue can also be replicated outside of QGIS by running ogr2ogr, so it seems to be a GDAL/OGR ESRI Shapefile Driver issue.<br>
Now in saying all that, QGIS 3 seems to be able to fix the issue by running, <b><i>Fix geometries
</i></b>from the Processing Toolbox.<br>
My question is, Is there a way to fix the OGR Driver to fix the issue, or a tick box under
<b><i>Save Vector Layer as... </i></b>to run/implament the <b><i>Fix geometries </i>
</b>tool as part of the save process?<br>
This is an issue, which pops up regularly online, with no solution to date.<br>
Regards & Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
