Take the draw tool click and drag it over as long as you want the line, click again and they select the selection arrow (at the top). I know it will look like the line is going over there, but when you click on the selection arrow, only the line will remain. (straight line in photo)
You can also do the same as above, but if you don't like seeing the line travel over to the selection tool, when you do your second click at the end of the line, right click and a menu will appear. Just ignore it and to go the selection arrow and click it - the menu will go away and you will be left with the line.

You can then edit the line to be dashes or whatever in the line edit menu where the art palette is.
Obviously I don't know what you want to cut or pierce, but you can take a vector shape, ungroup it if needed and break it apart and then you can select the individual lines to be what you want them to be - if you don't want to draw each one. Hope that makes sense.
Since you have JUST installed the software and are a very new user, I would encourage you to get to know the basics of the software and the machine via the Learning Center before tackling a more complicated project like you are attempting. It will save a lot of frustration in the long run.
