I went through the same sorts of issues a couple of years ago with ExpressPCB and found it best to measure and make my own footprints for tube sockets.

There are lots of different sockets out there and some don't physically interchange very well if at all. Best thing is to make footprints for the sockets you are actually going to use.

Your pcb software may also not be too similar to what most are using here. (Eagle, ExpressPCB, etc)

Get a cheap pair of calipers somewhere and use these to make the required measurements.
