Yup. Do it every day. 

Essential tools are:
Reflow: Good prediction software and lots of patience
Wave: X-ray with oblique viewing.

Do brush up on hole fill requirements for thru-hole. Rev F changed it a little.

Subject: [TN] circuit board layout optimization for manufacturing

Hi all,

Are there any standards or guidelines for how PCBs are laid out when dealing with small components in one area and large thermal mass components and ground planes in another area and being successful in wave soldering or reflow?
