copy paste uvs

ok so I'm doing ok creating a procedural texture for a load of stone columns in a scene. I can apply the txtr but I've only done the UV's on one column. Can I not simply copy those UV's select all the other idendical columns and paste them on? All I've managed to do up to yet is crash Maya =/

Is the geo absolutely identical? Try changing some of the options, like component, world, etc.

well it's working - but I've got to do it one at a time it seems. I get that 'cycle-e check error' otherwise
