Maya - Scale all similar UV islands equally?

So basically as the title says is there a way to make all similar UV islands same size without actually manually snapping them to the same coords. It takes a while.

Alright I found a way to do it. So in NSUV select UV island and use the function "GetTexelDensity" then select another UV island which is same and use the function "SetTexelDensity".
