Generate gerber files in Fusion 360 electronics from step files created outside AutoCAD

Hi, I am trying to 3D print an antenna design that I created in COMSOL and imported as a step file into Fusion 360. The idea is to create a gerber file of the antenna design from the imported step file and print it on a PCB using the Voltera V-One PCB printer. I would appreciate help on understanding how to create the gerber file from the imported step file.

@vrnaidu , you can first import your STEP into modeling environment and project the edges onto a sketch, next export the sketch as dxf and then import the dxf into electronics environment. With it, you will be able to create the geber.
