And in addition to that the optional M-values are missing so the ContentLength is 40 words (80 bytes) rather than the expected 64 words (128 bytes). With that in mind it reads fine. | |

When I tried to save my edits it said I couldn't save a Multipoint feature in a Point layer. But there is no option to specify multipoint geometry when you're creating a shapefile in QGIS. | |
