does anyone know of a way or a software available to translate a stl file to a step or other kind of file?

I'm not aware that STEP even supports the STL format as that's a 'faceted-model' record.

I agree john, but I am hearing but not confirming that Autodesk and Solidworks are capable of doing it.
