How to extract mapping coordinates from one object and apply to other?

[zhopudey]

I have a curved closed shape which I have extruded, which has a veneer texture. I need the grains of the veneer to follow the curve - can't do this thru the uvw modifier.

 

Now, if I take a arc and add a sweep modifier, it can generate mapping co-ordinates which work perfectly. The veneer grains follow the arc properly. Now is there any way I can extract the mapping co-ordinates from the arc and apply them to my other shape?

Have you tried to use 'Acquire' and obtain the coordinates from the uvw on the arc?

 

Add a UVW Map to your curved closed shape, select the Acquire button in the alignment parameters and then select the arc.

1st thing I tried. Acquire only works if the arc has a uvw modifier applied to it.

Why not use an UnwrapUVW modifier and use spline mapping?

How do I do that?
