Perhaps, but would a beginner need it at all? Usually designers use it
for mock-ups to show to clients.
What about adding a submenu "Generator" which could have a number of
choices, for example "text" or "shape". Where:
"generator" would group any functions that generate automatically repeated
objects.
"text" would generate repeating text given a number of parameters, for
example with "Lorem ipsum" or "Happy Birthday" along a curve or inside
a
shape.
"shape" would generate shapes given a number of parameters, for example it
could add stars of various sizes and positions at random to simulate a
night sky filled with stars.
Given that "Lorem ipsum" would be under a fairly self explanatory menu, it
should not be so hard to figure what it does even for new users.
