Maya 2011 UV corruption

Parallax2430

I just recently had this problem on Thursday. I UVed an object and i saved it to my c drive and then copy and pasted that file on my external hard drive. Then at school i copied that file onto my schools c drive. when i opened the files it looked like the uv's were blown up by a bomb. They were everywhere and all crazy. I re did the uvs and then again saved it to my external hardrive. When i opened the file at home off of my external hard drive it was again corrupted. Anyone have a solution?

I have had issues with UVs sometimes where I map an object, and when I move it about or place it in different spots the UVs change as if my initial projection was active.

As with all things maya, make sure you delete history at certain points.

Might be a stupid question, but have you checked to see if you're working on the same UV set at school as you were at home? There have been a few times where I've freaked out about something like this only to realize that my good UVs were just the way I had left them on another UV set.

Yeah its the same UV set it just moves the UVs everywhere and totally messes them up.
