So recently, I built an Atom Smasher. I haven't tested it yet, but I am planning to test it with a Cave Swallow Woman I somehow domesticated.
Problem is, when I assign her to the burrow I made for the Atom Smasher, she doesn't seem to go there. Is there any way to bring the unit to the Atom Smasher?

If she is domesticated, you might be able to pen her.

Nope, no such luck.
I don't think tame is the same thing as domesticated.

Perhaps a meeting zone? Burrows just means that they won't interact with objects outside the burrow IIRC, not that they have to sit there. If there is a meeting zone she might go there and hang out if no other actions are available to her.

Perhaps restrict the traffic around the zone to keep everyone else out?

So, I put a wolf in there, and a dwarf managed to crush himself.

FUN!

What about using a Restraint?

Can you assign them to a lever? You could set it up so the bridge crushes them as they're returning from pulling the lever that activates it.
