I suddenly have this same problem. I have been performing the task repeatedly all day. 

I opened a new model and I now cant exports PSD UV maps. 

I haven't restarted, haven't reinstalled, the program hasn't been closed, no other updates have taken place to my knowledge. 

I have tried opening a fresh scene, adding a cube, baking it in, generating UV's and exporting. but nothing. Empty folder.

I found a workaround! Not sure if it will work for everyone who has this same issue.

  1. "Generate UVs" in Dimension, but don't export UVs. 
  2. Instead, use "file" > "export" > "selected models", export OBJ
  3. In a photoshop doc, "3D" > "new 3D layer from file" > open your exported OBJ (which now includes Dimension-generated UVs)
  4. In the layers panel, double click into the Base Color layer (in my attached example labeled "Glass - Default Texture"
  5. In the properties panel of the PSB that opens, check "UV overlays" (now you'll see if it worked)
  6.  "3D" > "create painting overlay" > "wireframe"
  7. Now you have a layer which includes the UV map. You can then export this as a JPEG and use it for matching your art/graphics to the object

I'm using the latest version. I even uninstalled and redownloaded it today, but still the same problem. I don't even get the folder now, and I tried to find an answer on Google but you seem to be the only one mentioning this problem.

I hope we'll find a solution!
