Adding a component from a STEP file is very cumbersome

At its best, you're inserting a component from McMaster's website. But if you have a local step file, you have to first "New Design from File." But this doesn't put all the components of the imported STEP file into one top-level component for easy copy/paste to the Design you're working on.
There are two fixes needed here:
1) Allow me to just import a STEP file as a new component into an existing Design. This is so obvious as to be painful.
2) Allow me to copy the top-level of a Design and Paste New as if it were a component.
3) Barring 2, New Design from File should probably then just create a new top-level component into which to place all the components in the imported STEP file (or give me the option to during import).
