Allegro PCB: Any way to export a STEP file?

mvonahnen

 Our company has transitioned tools from Altium to Cadence and one of the features we have lost with Cadence is the ability to export the board outline to our mechanical engineers in a STEP format. 

1.  Is there a way of exporting this from Allegro PCB?

2.  Do you have to buy some costly third party SW to do this? (I am already taking heat for the cost of Cadence versus Altium)
