Parameters

In this "Blender File View" window we need to make sure we have the right settings. "All UVs" - on, "Modified" - off, "Size" - idk; i have 1024, "Fill Opacity" - 0.00.

Export and use!

Now go to where you'd like the UV map to be in the "Blender File View". Press "Export UV Layout" in the "Blender File View" and enjoy! You now have a transparent wireframe.
