How to make settlers stay/wander in one area

I built a manufacturing facility in Vault 88, and I've got two settlers dressed up with hard-hats and such. I know in the CK you can assign NPCs a patrol route where they wander from A to B to C, using whatever idle markers are nearby. Is that possible to do in-game with a mod or something? I have the mod "Settlement Activity Markers", and I've laid out idle markers along the conveyor belts (such as inspecting the line or using a clipboard), but my two factory workers keep wandering off back to the atrium or somewhere. If I assign them to a piece of furniture in the room, they just use that one piece of furniture until wandering off at bedtime.

 

Is there a mod that allows me to assign these guys a patrol route, or a sandbox area to wander around in during the day? I want 'em to look like they're working, not just roaming around.

Figured out a way to do this, so posting in case it helps anyone else. The mod "cVc Dead Wasteland" includes a category called "Working Guards". The category includes furniture objects that you can assign a settler to as a guard post. You can assign one settler to 1-3 different objects, and then they'll patrol back and forth between them, using any idle markers you put in their path.

 

In my case, I put down a desk and then two computer consoles (one by my recycler, one by my sorter) - the end result is that the settlers appear to walk around the factory area as they path between the three objects. Along with the "Inspect", "Use Clipboard", and "Use Wrench Kneeling" idle markers from SAM, I've got a fully functional factory floor now! :cool:
