Model a line?
Unfortunately not. I hoped there was a way to create just a line, since it would help with creating the program for milling. I don't know what the command is called in other CAD programs, but I know that it is possible for example in Creo.
So far I have temporarily solved it by extruding a surface perpendicular from the line, like in the picture, which can be used in manufacturing.
if your "line" goes completely across the face(s) in question, you can use Split Face. This adds an edge to the body that does come through STEP. But, it does have the limitation that it cannot be just imprinted on part of the face.

Some CAD programs can export curves and lines in STEP and IGS files, unfortunately Fusion can't! If you can use DWG or DXF you can export solid bodies and curves.

I would use the Autodesk Inventor Professional - Mark command for this functionality...
