keeping UV on imported cloth

[splinewalker]

Hi evryone!

Not quite getting the cloth out of 3dc as i'd like to, maybe you can give me a hint what i am doing wrong:

I try to make a cloth drape from an imported .obj

I do have UVs on the imported object that i would like to keep, but I don't see how to retain them, as they are always missing when I export the finished cloth from retopo as .obj

I also tried to import to retopo first, (here i can see the original uvs) and them "pick from retopo" which works, but again after the simulation uvs seem lost.

is there any possibility to retain the original UV for cloth objects?

thanks,

daniel
