Convert Selection to UV w/Python?

[goleafsgo]

Should work (haven't run it though...):


tmpVerts = cmds.ls (sl = 1)
uvs = cmds.polyListComponentConversion (tmpVerts, tuv=True )
print uvs

Thanks.
Your script executes and prints a list of UVs, but in the UV Editor, the selected verts don't get converted to a UV Selection. What I'm looking for is the same functionality as the UV Editor's Select/Convert Selection to UVs.

EDIT:
I got it:
In addition to your code:
cmds.select (uvs)

Thanks again.

if you are just trying to change the selection and don't care about storing the list:

import maya.mel as mm
mm.eval("ConvertSelectionToUVs")

or with pymel (which makes things more Pythonic):

from pymel import *
mel.ConvertSelectionToUVs()

or you could just do

cmds.select(cmds.polyListComponentConversion(tuv = True))

then if you wanted to store the selection

selectedUVs = cmds.polyEditUV(query = True)
