Does anyone know if there is a value for the CadType field that will force the CAD export conversion to create Microstation linestrings?

I can use the value "Line" and it will create only Line elements, but if I try to use "LineString" or variations thereof, it creates Complex Chains.

Use "Line String" instead of "LineString".  I just tried it and it worked like a charm for simple straight line segments.

Thanks Karen - exactly what I was looking for! 

It might be worth a note in the help listing the valid element type strings for the CadType field.

Good point.  I also added an enhancement request to add support for either "Line String" or "LineString" to do the same thing.
