Dividing an object into multiple objects
The Slice and Dice tool allows you to divide a single object into two or
more objects. An example of using this tool is to apply different colors
to different parts of a design. These colors could be either different
vinyl, or different fills. Refer to the example to understand the Slice
and Dice tool.

Click the Slice and Dice knife and drag the knife completely across the entire object to
separate the original into multiple objects.

shapes.
