cally use a 0.125" hole and 4-40 machine screws. Never had a problem with that recipe.

Don't forget that the "slop factor" you need for mechanical mounting holes will depend on quite a few things. Are you having a chassis machined? Are you drilling mounting holes in a box yourself? These questions will start you on the path to finding out how much misalignment you may get between standoffs and your holes on your board.

The chassis is plastic, pre-built with standoff mounting holes. Thanks to all for your input on the mounting hole solution.

I am still looking at a way to use the menu somehow to rip apart not the whole autorouted board, but only a selected subset.
