 == Duplicating UVs ==
-If you want several instances of the same object, use alt-'d' to create linked duplicates. They'll share their faces, so you only need to unwrap one. Note that you need to do this *before* you unwrap, because creating a linked duplicate of something deletes its UV coordinates (thanks Blender :-) )
+If you want several instances of the same object, use alt-'d' to create linked duplicates. They'll share their faces, so you only need to unwrap one.
 For meshes which you don't want linked, select the mesh you want to apply UVs to in object mode, then chain select the identical source mesh and choose 'Join as UVs' in the Ctrl-'l' menu.

 There is also a copy / paste UV script linked at the bottom of the page, though I haven't had much luck with it.

 Seams and pins are only respected by 'Unwrap' it appears, and pin only seems to work erratically for me.

-* If you've thoroughly stuffed it up and want to start again, switch to 'Default' screen layout, select your mesh, and switch the panel on the right to 'Object Data'. Hit the minus sign next to UVMap to delete the map entirely.

-* If you select one vertex and shared vertices from other faces are being selected too, look for 'Sticky selection mode' on the bottom toolbar - only available with 'sync' off.

-* If you want to get the finished parts out of the way in the 3D view, select them (easiest to box select on the UV map with sync on), then hit 'h' to make them invisible (alt-h brings them back).

-* If you've got lots of polys that you need to place on top of each other, rather than lining them up one by one with snap, it can be easier to turn 'sync' on, select them all, hit 'u' in the 3D window then choose 'Reset'. They'll all default back to covering the whole texture.
