Hello,

I am consistantly finding that the UVs arent being updated when sent back to Maya.
It does send an updated version, just not the latest version, which is very odd.
If I move the group/box into another Udim, it works.

Unfortunately send you a scene would probably not help as it doesnt happen repeatedly if I open a fresh UVLayout.

Any idea why this might be happening?

Latest version and latest version plugin. On linux

Cheers,

Mike

Yes, very!

As you probably know, the plugin transfers its info via temporary OBJ files, so I'm wondering if its a networking caching/latency/locking thing. The temp OBJ files are stored in your maya project directories, so could that be on a file server via NFS? If yes, then maybe changing the temp folder to something local (e.g. /tmp) might be worth exploring.

Change this in the MEL plugin script ...

string $uvlayout_dir = $workspace_dir + "/uvlayout";

... to this ...

string $uvlayout_dir = "/tmp/uvlayout";

... and see if things improve.

Hi,

Exactly which mel script are you referring to?

Search for "uvlayout_open.mel" in your home maya folder.
