uv copy problem

Hi guys,

I know its probably something really bloody simple but this one has me stumped. I dont know if I have inadvertantly hit a key or what but I need a hand.

In Kurts tut on the Spitfire he duplicates his tyre, then highlights the UV in persp panel and does a flip then highlights the original half and ends up with 2 sets of UV's for the tyre.

I have tried, checked, tried again to emulate this but cant seem to do it. Everytime I highlight the copy the original also lights up the UV and I cant get it to work.

vid attached

Thanks bullet

i might be wrong but maybe u haven't done an instant duplicate as i can see from the video when he selects the tyre UV's the other one gets selected as well

or it could be something else
