.STL to .STEP (or other common CAD format)

Is there a way to convert .STL files so that they can be edited in Fusion or Solidworks?  Fusion has the ability, if you subscribe, but the free version doesn’t.  Looking for a free or online converter.  Sorry if this has been asked before, but searching the forums wasn’t fruitful.

...mostly because there isn't a good way of doing it - yes, it *can* be done, but not efficiently or easily.  .STL is not a CAD file format, it just describes the surfaces, it does not preserve the underlying structures that give rise to those surfaces.  Always preserve the original CAD file for later re-use.

Cheerio,
