Wolfgang, There are at least 2 ways of achieving this :
- use -nlt flag of ogr2ogr. For example if your src.shp contains 3D points : ogr2ogr dest.shp src.shp -nlt POINT. See http://gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html - or, equivalently, use the SHPT creation option of the Shape driver : ogr2ogr dest.shp src.shp -lco SHPT=POINT.
