The native CAD for Robot Studio is ACIS (.sat). You will need to convert the STEP (.stp) to .sat. You could also purchase through ABB a .stp to .sat CAD Converter.

Step can be imported directly if you have license for it. What happens when you try?

Same problem here. Sometimes ACIS also didn’t work. You can try to convert with CAD Exchanger Trial.
