Maya Quick Tip 21: UVs Disappear When Combining Objects

[@GameProve]

There is another method: You can go to the "Combine Options" and choose "Merge By UV Links".
This well merge the object and keep the Uv's saved.

I have a similar scene setup with the UVS in different UV sets. How about the copy command in the UV Set Editor, would that help in this scenario?

[@hailhexd]

what if after renaming the uv map, the renamed UV's get deleted?

[@Seru_Janai]

Same issue here, but I managed to solved it. What I did was to take the group that refuses to combine with anything else, combine those, export them and re import them, and then I was able to change their uv names without the uvs being deleted.
