Detaching a mesh when it's unwrapped

Is there any way to do that? Say I got a leg that I unwrapped in one piece, and would like to get it detached as different parts of the leg and still keeping the unwrap.

I tried doing that (with my unwrap done) and then going to editable mesh > polygon and selected my polys I wanted to detach, but the unwrap just reset <.<

Any ideas?

then you are doing something wrong!
thats the standard and works fine actually...
try to convert to editable poly before you detach maybe?

It worked, thanks! Can't rep you :(
