Align curve to view
in the same way that you can add a reference image and it will be aligned to the view you are currently in curves need to be given the same ability, this would make things like adding arcs much easier to edit the angles and number of points etc before you rotate it to the correct alignment because as we all know, once you rotate or resize or do anything the operator panel disappears for good.......and no, F9 doesnt solve this.

after adding an object/curve, you can press f9 to see the redo options. In there you can choose what to align it to.
ive set it to align to world permanently now, as most of what im doing requires a lot of curve uses, now i can use the arc and have it where i need it, once again thank you so much, if i ever make enough money to be able to hire someone to be my blender paperclip the jobs yours, have a great day.
Default aligning setting is in preferences:
Quick addon to bring this setting from preferences to sidebar (N panel) if you want to change it frequently:
Download: quick_preferences.py
I made it as test to see if I could recreate old addon few years ago, but didn't end up using it much. I think N panel is actually not a good place for this, perhaps it makes more sense to locate it in header, closer to other orientation tools:
This is just a mockup, more compact version with icons instead of text would fit better with rest. Is there interest in it though?
this helps so so much, thank you
