how to import STEP files right into an open document?

How can you import STEP files right into an open document?

 

I am unable to figure this out.

Today, you need to upload the STEP data and create a Fusion 360 design. You can then insert it into another Fusion design.

We have struggled to do direct insert because the time it might take to translate.
It create a complicate branching import/insert experience that presents its own challenges.

That said, we talk often about the need to improve the import and insert experience.

I think a file import directly into a part is really needed, having to upload as a fusion design and then insert it is a complicated and very unusual approach.

I see the problem with the translation however I ask myself why Fusion needs so much time when other applications are radically faster.
