Maya 4.5 UV Snap funcion in Texture Editor???

[Waboflex]

In the UV Editor, select a UV...

Hit w to get the move manipulator...

Hold down the v key (snap to points)...

Move your UV, and watch in amazement as it snaps to others :thumbsup:

Boy, I could really do with this just now. We're still using Maya 4 on our current job (no upgrading in the middle of a project and all that), and doing it by eye then sewing UV's, again and again, is becoming a real pain. Could do it in a fraction of the time if only I had snapping. Oh well, next time :shrug:

Just tried that and no dice. AW have been promising this function since the arrival of v4.0. Would really love to know how. At least there is some reference to it in the documentation. Just not how to use it.

Anyone else got any clues?????

You sure Mr. Fudge? We're not using 4.5 in production but we do have it here, and that's exactly how it works for me. Though I should have mentioned it's a kind of proximity snap, a UV only snaps when it's dragged close to another UV. Maybe try that?

Yeah OK, that works. But why on earth would you want to snap any UV's to another one? What possible function could that serve? Seems utterly poitless to me. I was hoping you would be able to select a row of UV's and snap them along X or Z to any other UV. Now that would be usefull. Forgive me if I am being blind or narrow-minded.
