Has anyone got this to work yet?

I made sure the path was set to pro version and my obj plugin was checked, but I get nothing when I click the run and send buttons, not even an error.

any ideas?

Open up the MEL script window, and type this ...

uvlayout_run;

.. followed by the Enter key. Do you get any errors from that?

Sorry, I made a mistake! The command you need to type in is ...

uvlayout_open;

no errors

the gui popped up as well, but UV layout didn't open.

Edit the uvlayout_open.mel script and search for the uvlayout_run() function. Towards the top of that you'll see a debug variable being set to "0". Change that to "1", save, and restart maya. Type "uvlayout_open;" into the script window again and this time it should dump extra information. You can post that here and I'll see if I can work out whats going wrong.

Hello,
I am running maya 2012, the uvlayout plugin icons are showing on the shelf and i can select info and run the uvlayout program within the window it opens by clicking on run uvlayout button.

now if i select astandard maya polygon cube and the clickon send mesh i get this error : // Error: file: C:/Users/Unified/Documents/maya/2012-x64/scripts/uvlayout_open_mod.mel line 189: Could not save file "C:/Users/Unified/Documents/maya/projects/default/default/uvlayout/tmp6572.obj".

I did not have this problem with maya 2011 and below. I can export the cube or any other model using maya 2012 own obj export plugin with no problems or errors and import as well with no errors.

I hope some one can help.

thankyou.

The plugin is supposed to make its own temporary folder, but maybe that's not happened for some reason? So check that this folder exists and that you have permissions to create files in it ...

"C:/Users/Unified/Documents/maya/projects/default/default/uvlayout"

I am having the exact same problem I do have the uvlayout folder which does have the temp data saved in it when I press the send button but will not appear in UVlayout UI.

I did rename the temp item with extenion .obj and it does load through UVlayout UI.

Any ideas as to what else could be causing this issue?

PS just tried it with Maya 2011 and works fine here so could it be to do with Maya 2012 hot fix2?
