Chose Render Profile based on file extension AND document type

An option to allow different rendering profiles to be used for the same file type based on the documents document type.  For example: I have document type "Generic Drawing" and I want all DWGs to render in monochrome, but my document type "P&ID Drawing" I want all DWGs rendered in color.

This would allow greater flexibility and control for rendering files.  This would grant additional power to document types.

    That would work for me.  I would want to be able to set a "default" profile so if a document doesn't have info in the field 'render profile' then the "default" would be used.  This "default" would also ensure that this change wouldn't "break" others installations if they are happy with the current render setup.

    We could link this to Document Types, but I could imagine other customers would want to make this dependent on a property like 'Document Classification'.
    Other approach: we add an option where you can give a Render Profile a tag (e.g. 'GENERICDWG' or 'PIDDWG') and add a rendition property where you can select which profile to use for a drawing. Would that work for you?
