Routings

The Assembly Process Group routings for PCBA are summarized in the following illustration. The text is small, so the illustration is followed by a listing of the processes shown. (You can always display the full routing diagram in the aPriori client by clicking Edit > Routing Selection in the Manufacturing Process pane, and ensuring that View > Show Uncosted Nodes within Visible Routings is selected in the Routing Selection window.)
