If you want to partially divide a polygon: 

 * Draw lines on copper with zero thickness but finite clearance.  


If you want to completely dissect a polygon:

 * Divide the polygon with thin tracks.  Parts will render invisible.

 * Let the mouse hover over the visible part of the polygon. Use the
   command MorphPolygon(Object) to make each snippet a polygon on its
   own.
   Alternatively you can select the polygon and apply the variant 
   MorphPolygon(Selected)
