I really like the new Preserve UVs feature in Maya 2009 - Is there any way of moving verts using mel with this feature on?

if I use say, move -a 0 0 0 -puv , it doesn't preserve the UVs as expected?

Merry Xmas btw!! :beer:

what do you mean "as expected" ?

according to my listener that is the only flag that changes when turning on/off preserve uvs while moving anything.

move -a 0 0 0 -puv; seems working for me on vertices of a 1 subdivision plane.

Thanks guys, After some testing - it DOES work fine! :thumbsup: Dunno what I was thinking (!!!) :shrug:

I think what confused me was; when you use the Move tool to translate a vert to a position where it cannot retain UVs, it would give an useful error // Error: Unable to preserve UVs. Disable the Preserve UV option to continue with this edit. //
but when run with the mel command, it doesn't offer the warning and just moves the vertex anyway (without preserving UVs) - I must have seen this result and assumed that the -puv wasn't working right! opps!
