Short description of error
Link/Transfer Data > copy UV maps gives wrong result.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open the file and try to copy the "chainmail1" object UV to "chainmail2" object.
I get the same wrong result even with the Data Transfer Modifier.

Please check also the attached video.

Thank you

The mesh is not the same.
If we compare the indices of the vertices, they are in different positions.

The Copy UV operator is a simple operator that does not consider the mesh topology.
So while not useful in many cases, it works as designed and is not a bug.


Data Transfer Modifier, works quite differently.
I tested it and there were no problems.

Thanks for the reply.
In that case the tool tip should say (needs matching vertex order) instead of ( needs matching geometry)
