Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing plugin structure and how CadQuery currently imports DXF files, converts them to pending wires, and extrudes them. The issue does not name files, tests, or a specific profile source, so first define the supported aluminum profiles and the intended automated workflow. Done should mean a documented, working generator that handles the selected profile inputs end to end.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Many types of aluminum extrusion have complex 2D shapes. Right now there is a multi-step process of downloading the profile's 2D DXF file, importing it into CadQuery, converting it to pending wires, and then extruding it. There is a lot of room for improvement and automation in this process.
