.STEP started out as the native format for Solidworks but is now an ISO standard. You can read and write the file with many different programs. FreeCAD is one.
But the file is just a plain old ASCII text file. If there is some data inside try "grep" or just a text editor and search for a word. NIST has a web app that puts a .step file into a spreadsheet https://www.nist.gov/services-resources/software/step-file-analyzer-and-viewer <https://www.nist.gov/services-resources/software/step-file-analyzer-and-viewer> What are you making? I read a post about 50 ball bearings. THat is a complex machine. A four legged walking robot? Got a link to the .step file?
