You guys are unearthing new levels of moronic on the part of the Maya devs.
Thanks for the insight. I have renamed the first UV set to something else than map1 (which I have always hated when receiving models from Maya) so that might explain why the UV relationship editor is not behaving quite like it says on the tin.

Today I think for everyone, it is just a chore, an old fashion can-do everything-but-poorly thing. > From: Morten Bartholdy <[email protected]> > To: "Userlist, Softimage" <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2017 10:45 AM > Subject: OTish and F****** Mayaish rant - or the multiple UV sets conundrum > > I am late to the sad and boring party of learning Maya and have run into what > looks like total idiosyncracy in the way you manage and use multiple UV sets > in Maya. > > Trying to keep an open mind and keeping the learning hat on, I am willing to > accept there might be a good reason for the way Maya does it, but having to > Link each UV set to a given texture using the Relationship Editor rather than > just selecting the desired UV set in a texture projection node like in Soft > is beyond my imagination.
