Curve Tools lists compatibility with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so version 0.4.6 is designed to run on 4.2 and later releases. It was originally part of Blender's 4.1 bundled add-ons and is now distributed as a standalone extension with limited support. You can add it by dragging the extension into Blender or by downloading it and installing from disk. For the latest compatibility details, check the developer's page.
Curve Tools appears in the View3D Tool Shelf under the Edit tab once the add-on is enabled. From there you can reach its options, including Fillet, Handle Projection, Divide, Remove Doubles, and Tilt. Note that the curve needs to be selected before you enter Edit Mode, otherwise several of these options show as grayed out. This layout follows the add-on's original design by Mackraken and Spivak Vladimir (cwolf3d).
Curve Tools is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later, and the extension requires no special permissions to run. It is listed here as free, and for current licensing and any terms you should refer to the developer's page. The add-on's original authors are Mackraken and Spivak Vladimir (cwolf3d), and it is now maintained as a community extension offered as-is with limited support.
Curve Tools can show its Fillet, Handle Projection, Divide, Remove Doubles, and Tilt options as grayed out when a curve is not selected before entering Edit Mode. Selecting the curve first keeps these options active. This behaviour has been reported by users of version 0.4.6. The tools sit in the View3D Tool Shelf under the Edit tab once the add-on is enabled in Blender 4.2 LTS or newer.
