Any way to duplicate mapping for similar objects?

Hi guys- I have a number of almost identical objects that I need to have the same texture applied. Is there an easy way to set up the texture mapping for one object and then just copy that for the others instead of starting from scratch every time for each object? Thanks!!

V5 Beta has "Match_Mapping. Does that help?

Hey Polyxo- I will open it up and try it out, I have V5 downloaded and installed but I am still running V4. Thanks!

Cary, I've been using the v5 match mapping command (I use the little brush icon in the texture mapping dialog), but it will match the rotation of the original object, so when I match that texture to an object that has been rotated I always have to go back and rotate the texture. Best to match the textures before rotating copied objects whenever possible...something I usually forget to do :shock:

Hey Josephus- thanks for that extra tip!!! I will definitely keep that in mind.
