That's not necessarily true. SDF files contain a schema which, among
other things, defines what kinds of geometry types are allowed in each
geometry column. If you create an SDF class that limits the geometry
column to a specific geometry type, then only that type will be
displayed in Studio.
How are you creating the SDF files?
I found this to be a problem with FME2006, because it did not allow you
to set the geometry type, but FME2007 does (you need to replace your
destination data sets).
Also, fdo2fdo allows you to do schema re-mapping, which I'm pretty sure
includes changing the allowed geometry types.
