Perhaps ask them what they think of open-source alternatives like
FreeCAD?
They do beautiful work, so I'm not about to tell them how to do it.
Maybe they’ve heard of FreeCAD already (if they are competent in keeping
up with their field, they will have), and they are waiting for you to
raise the topic. Just ask if they’ve heard of it.
Does FreeCAD import and export STEP?
If it’s an open, industry-common format, then yes.

I’m sure you can figure out how to find out more for yourself ...
