Texture not showing in UV editor

[tttaylor1]

Ive just run into this issue recently where you can visibly see the texture on the model in the viewport but in the UV editor its just white. Does anyone know how to fix this.

Hi Tom, try clicking back and forth between the checker box icon and the file icon, sometimes it helps to refresh the UV editor and make sure you don't have another UV set.

Remember that while modeling your  scene format should always be a .ma file
