Problem: Maya : Uv: Renaming Uv Set: Uvs disappear
polycounter lvl 8
Program: Maya 2014
Subfeature: UV editor
issue:
- while renaming a the current uvset the current uvs disappear.
- If an undo is attempted the uvs remain gone.
Current work around:
- save
- copy uvs into new uvset
- rename
- delete old uvset
This problem isn't persistent. It seems to be random, but if someone could shed some light on this issue it would be great. It seems like this type of thing shouldn't need a work around.

Doesn't delete the UVs for me.

Do you get the same issue then?
I've had these copying problems before, but can't recall what I did to get rid of it (it probably went away when I incorporated UV set -functionality into Nightshade UV Editor)
The version is Maya 2014 Service Pack 2. Theres no projection, its already been unwrapped.
Right now i'm combing meshes into one. One of the purposes for this is to optimize lightmaps. In the separate meshes sometimes the lightmaps have been named differently for whatever reason i.e. (lightmap, LightMapUV). So if you want to combine the UV's they need to have the same name or else you get two different uv maps. (not sure if words are making this clear, i'll get some images or a video if not.)
Deadly Nightshade:
I'll test that out. Its on a random basis so I can't tell you right now. I'll save a file and upload it next time i get a mesh that does it, maybe its some weird settings i ticked on not knowing. I'll also check out your UV editor. It's a such a random thing.

Its just a mesh, no skin.
