Ron,
Pro plus has a feature called "proximity stitch filter/plotter" that
will
look a design, say three identical fills on top of one another, and show you
using different colors where too many stitches have been placed over one
another. From there you can run it through a filter that will actually
"offset" these stacked stitches by a distance/measurement you choose so they
aren't "stacked" which would lead to potential thread breaks. It doesn't
remove stitches, simply moves the stitches.
Can't say I've ever used it before but here would be a good place to
try it
if I do the trick you just described and the software didn't compensate
automatically. Keep in mind, this is a Pro or Pro Plus feature.
Ed

I read a great article in Stitches magazine
by Lee Carrosseli (sp?) one of the owners
of Balboa thread works. These guys are great digitizers
winners of many, many awards. Anyway...
She suggest this for keeping fill stitches from pushing
to much and missing the registration of outlines. This also
keeps the puckering down.
(I am working from memory here, but you'll get the point)
the trick she showed was to take your normal fill
reduce the density you would normally use to 1/3 of the
original. then you duplicate the fill three times each time
changing the direction of the "in" and "out" so that it starts
from the opposite end of where the underneath fill.
(if the first starts on the left and ends on the right, then the next fill
would start on the right and end on the left)
apparently she states that most new digitizing programs won't
put the fill stitches in the exact same spot as the one underneath
so in effect you get better coverage with the same amount of stitches
and more fabric is covered.
I've used this technique with simple fills with only 2 layers
and it amazes me as to how much less push and pull I get.
Give it a try on some sample things and see if it doesn't work for you too,
Good Luck,
