Interesting solution! Aside from the glue component selection and placement, how does this stack up against an autorouter, like you find in a package like altium?

One aspect of board layout is maintenance/testing, so like test points and such and another is fit/finish for integration into a product (switch and button placement, etc). Does the system allow some guidance around placements?

The autorouter we use is on par with what you find in Altium. The one part that makes it actually work where most autorouters breakdown is the guidance and handholding our software can do automatically.

Yes it allows placements for whatever you care about. Specify a placement if you care about it, don't specify it, and the system finds the best place for the part.
