I am looking for 7 pin, 8 pin and 9 pin tube socket Gerbers, I am building out some PCB's since I have kind of learned this software, but the tube sockets do not fit any of the PCB mount sockets. 
Thanks for any help..

What PCB editor are you using?  You are probable going to want to modify and existing footprint to what you want. A gerber is the output form your PCB editor.

diptrace, it can import gerbers to create new objects, I have been trying to make my own from scratch, but there is a level of art to this. I can play art, but I can not draw art. Different skill. Out of all of the people who do this, it is very surprising is everyone says make your own. Someone should have done this already, but maybe not....

I don't know how to do attachments on this forum, so shoot me a PM with your email.  I have 8 and 9 pin, but no 7 pin sockets.

That is cool that Diptrace will back import a gerber. Will it export out a net list?

this is what it exports
while it did import from Gerber, IT was a pain to save. So I downloaded Eagle, and a tube library, exported as eagle script, which diptrace imported directly into its library.
