I got a human invasion so I have two projects going on...

One a massive water trap and then removing my existing traps.

Currently the water trap requires a good deal of people building bridges and stone floors (to prevent underground trees from growing) and I have enough people working on that.

But at the same time I'd like a dwarf to go ahead and remove the traps so I can rebuild them to avoid the issue with the diplomat giving the humans trap avoid.

Now I have a mechanic and he didn't seem to do anything until I enabled the "architecture" labour, but he removed half the traps and then started to join his buddies building many of the bridge and roads I have in the water trap I am building.

Now I realized I could just add him to a burrow while typing this?

Think that would work to get him to remove the traps and stop working on my other projects?

Just remove the architecture labour again. Building and removing traps takes only mechanics, nothing else. I don't know what held your mechanic back previously, but it shouldn't have been the lack of the architecture labour.

But yeah, a burrow should work, too.
