Thank you for your encouraging comments. :slight_smile:
I’ve updated to make the names of the created curves better reflect the curve to which they are assigned. This should make them easier to keep up with.

This would so great to have again in 2.82. I tried the addon called “Add Curve: Extra Objects” but nothing appears in any menu that offers the options described in this thread. Doesn’t appear in 2.79 either. Maybe that function is not possible any longer?

This function in Blender 2.80+ has been moved to the context menu.
