How to get objects back from UVLayout:

When you've finished flattening those objects in UVLayout, click on UVLayout's "Send" button. Then back in Maya just tap the 'x' hotkey; Maya should then load the flattened objects, replacing the ones you originally sent to UVLayout.

which mean it can't be i have a nice layout and my original object within history together???

The v2 plugin transfers the UVs to the original object, so it'll retain history, shaders, animation etc.
