Hello Hatse, have you found some interesting footprint for KiCad? It turns out that yesterday I installed KiCad and gave it a try. Board size limit of free Eagle was my main reason to try the switch over: given that I've not spent more than 10 hours on Eagle I have not wasted too much (sleep) time. Following KiCad tutorial on Hack a Day I've just drawn three Nixie symbols (0-9, 0-9 and decimal point, 0-9 and two decimal points) and a schematic diagram with 6 digits. I really love KiCad keyboard shortcuts.
Next is to draw footprints for the tubes I own: ZM1000, 5870S/ZM1332, B5092 and VFDs IV-3, IV-6, IV-22. I will share the resulting library and keep people posted here.
