Hi Stefan, It would seem that the error checking you put into the shapefile saving code is a little more restrictive than SkyJUMP's. I think what we do (for Save Dataset As...) is just save them all as polylines, so that method has disadvantages too if you really wanted the polygons. For Save Selected Datasets, SkyJUMP automatically separates out the newly added types into different layer files (with _line, _area, _point suffixes), which is pretty cool.
