I am using the -geotools- command to export polygon features to an ESRI shapefile. The input geography file was derived from the output of -shp2dta-. I wonder if there is a way to deal with the export of shapefiles using -geotools- in the case of multipart polygon features. I am encountering problems with this. As per the user manual / notes on the tool, it does not support the export of such features - polygons with holes, or nonconsecutive, multipart polygons. As a result, polygon features made up of multiple parts come out as fully distorted when mapping the output shapefile. Would anyone know of a workaround to this? I am using Stata16 MP2. Thank you very much for any help.
