Let's say I have a TD Ameritrade or Interactive Brokers account and hook SC up to it. Is there a way in SC to specify which exchange to route the order to? ARCA, BATS, EDGEX, etc? If there is not a way, is there a default route (maybe SMART in IB)?

In the case of IB you can definitely control the exchange. The exchange is part of the symbol specification. Refer to this page:

For any stock symbol you can specify the exchange.

Excellent, thank you. Can you think of a way to make it easy to change venues quickly without changing the chart symbol itself?

Also, let's say I have a chart of "AAPL-STK-BATS" and place an order on "AAPL-STK-ARCA" -- will I see the order on the chart of "AAPL-STK-BATS"?

Yes this will be the case.
