UVs are viewed and edited in the 2D view of the UV Texture Editor (Edit UVs > UV Texture Editor). UVs display whenever a polygonal or subdivision surface mesh is selected in the scene view. When the 3D mesh is de-selected the UVs are no longer displayed in the UV Texture Editor.
By default, all of the UVs for a selected object get displayed. You can display a subset of UVs using the Isolate Select feature. For more information see Display a subset of UVs.
To display UVs in the UV Texture Editor
The UVs for the selected mesh are displayed in the UV Texture Editor.
