Bernard is talking about editing UV s of multi objects at the same time wich is not possible even in XSI 6, you can see all the projections but only edit one.

2007/1/5, Kim Aldis < XSI(at)kim-aldis.co.uk>:

I was talking about XSI 6. I can open the TE on multiple objects and see all
the uv sets or I can have one object with multiple UV sets and shift select
them in the UV menu to get any or all of them in the TE view.
