Export to STEP with WCS (vs absolute) 1

Needing to export some files to STEP, but running into a wall.

When exporting an IGES, it lets you select a WCS (which it sets as absolute when you import it) so the parts come in at 0,0,0. The STEP export routine doesn't have this option as far as I can tell.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to modify the STEP export selection to add this, or to possibly specify it using something like a journal?

Thanks
