Tube socket layout software?

Cadsoft's EAGLE has a library Editor that does this cleanly. You could also do it by just building a board with pads & traces.

Someone may have already built a library for this.

--At the moment I'm trying to fab some "sockets" out of copper plated PC board. Dimensions are decidedly non-standard (Russian Nixies). I've got drilling the holes down pat with a funky cnc rotary table and a manual milling machine, but what I'd like to do next is to lay on a mask and etch away the unneeded copper. Paths would radiate from the socket pin holes, then bend to route to one side of the board. Can someone recommend software, preferably freeware or shareware that a simpleton like me can learn quickly, to do this sort of thing? --TIA,

I read from Google Groups. If you don't leave my name in your reply, I may never notice it.

If you chop out all context (don't leave a little of the previous post), folks who use newsreaders will find that a pain. Here's the document on which the newsgroups concept is based: http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:8PaSp2kKbWoJ:

--Thanks a bunch! Actually, as of last night I've had good luck with the paper-toner-ironing transfer technique. Hope to take a whack at etching later today (after I get the ventilation ducting set up; that shit's *toxic*!).
