The Move tool () has different options when you work in the UV Editor panel.
-
Retain Component Spacing
- If you snap to a point (with grid snapping, point snapping, or pixel snapping) when this option is on, the selected UVs keep their positions relative to each other. If you snap to a point when this option is off, all of the selected UVs snap to the same point, bunching them up. This option is on by default.
