Use Edit > Automatic Knife to automatically slice Complex Fill and Complex Turning embroidery objects into smaller turning stitch and single angle objects with automatic overlaps.

The Automatic Knife tool assists semi-automated digitizing of vector artwork. When objects have clean boundaries, EmbroideryStudio fragments them automatically and generates good quality stitching in most cases. It also operates on Complex Fill and Complex Turning embroidery objects.
