with that view, an .STP file or anything else representing a geometry drived from a CAD drawing (DXF, DWG, SolidWorks, CATIA, etc.) is also all about instructing a computer

I don’t know about CAD files, but if they can be used to write general-purpose programs, then sure. Otherwise, they’re just input to the CAD software, which has itself undergone the software development process.
