Very nice

Another very useful scripted object. Only changes i can suggest is to add the option to pick a spline from the scene to use as the basis of the shape
example usage:
create a cylinder. Inset the cap twice. Select the loop created by the first inset. Deselect a single edge and create shape from selection.
Start your arrow primitive. Pick shape now you have an arrow arc that fits on top of the cylinder.
