Hi there I get this error when sending my characters arm over to UVLayout

select -r arm2:polySurface1 ;
uvlayout_open;
// Error: No object matches name: uvlayout_arm2:polySurface1 //

After I press send it just duplicates the arm in the Maya scene.

Any ideas?

The plugin mel script makes a copy of the select object before sending it, so that's where the duplicate arm is coming from. But it looks like the name of the duplicate object isn't ending up as it should so A) it doesn't get sent across and B) isn't being deleted either.

Can you find out what name your duplicate arm actually has?
