UV Exporter - Documentation

Export Source

This defines which objects will be processed.

• Selected: Exports UVs only from the objects you have actively selected.
• Collection: Exports UVs from every mesh object within the chosen collection. This is perfect for batch processing large scenes.

Export Settings

Here you can customize the output of your UV layouts.

• Export Path: The folder where your exported files will be saved.
• Format: Choose between raster (PNG, JPEG, etc.) and vector (SVG, DXF) formats.
• Image Size: Sets the resolution for raster image formats (e.g., 1024x1024).
• Colors (Face, Edge, Background): Gives you full control over the colors of the exported layout.
• Transparent BG: When checked for compatible formats (PNG, WEBP, etc.), this will export the UV layout with a transparent background.
• Line Thickness / Stroke Width: Adjust the thickness of the lines for pixel-perfect results in raster and vector formats.

UV Map Selection

You have full control over which UV maps are exported.

• Dropdown Menu: If 'Export All UV Maps' is off, you can select a specific UV map from this list to export.
• Export All UV Maps: When enabled, the add-on will ignore the dropdown and export every UV map found on each object as a separate file.

Preset System

Save your favorite combinations of settings for quick reuse.

• Add Preset (+): Saves the current settings as a new preset.
• Remove Preset (-): Deletes the currently selected preset.
• Update Preset (Refresh Icon): Overwrites the selected preset with the current settings.

• Q: I clicked "Export" but no files were created.
  A: First, ensure you have set a valid `Export Path`. Second, make sure you have selected an object or a collection with mesh objects in it. The add-on will report an error if there's nothing to export.
• Q: Can I change the default settings?
  A: Yes! Set up your preferred settings in the panel, then go to `Edit > Preferences > Add-ons`, find "UV Exporter", and click "Save Preferences". Note that this is a Blender feature and might not always work as expected depending on your configuration. Using the preset system is the most reliable method.
