I'm having trouble using the 'ogr2ogr' utility (part of GDAL 1.7.2) to convert the UK Ordnance Survey MasterMap (GML) into ESRI shapefiles.
The 'orientation' field is being ignored when I convert the CartographicText layer, although this field gets successfully translated for the CartographicSymbol layer. All the other CartographicText layer fields appear just fine in the generated '.dbf' file.
Is there a way of forcing ogr2ogr to recognise the orientation field? Can anyone suggest an alternative Open Source (preferably free) conversion utility? I'm fairly new to GIS, so I might be making an obvious mistake, but any advice is very gratefully received! :-)
