Export / Import STEP

I know focus of LibeCAD is 2D, and STEP is primarily 3D (I hope I am correct) format. But http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_10303#Coverage_of_STEP_Application_Protocols_.28AP.29 has some pointer about 2D

Design APs:
Mechanical:
AP 201, Explicit draughting. Simple 2D drawing geometry related to a product. No association, no assembly hierarchy.
AP 202, Associative draughting. 2D/3D drawing with association, but no product structure.

My question is:

Is it useful / desired feature to have STEP  Import / Export?

 

Hi,

Certainly would be useful.  At present, can step be imported?

Thx,                 ... Peter E.

Currently and in foreseeable future no, as we don't have a developer working in this area.

That being said, there are many online converters can convert from STEP to dxf and for free:
