Is it possible, in Creo-2, to find out what the native software a step file was made in is?

Not directly in Creo, but if you open the STEP file in a text editor (WordPad should do) I believe the creator software is often listed in the first few lines.

Like this in text editor:

ISO-10303-21;

HEADER;

FILE_DESCRIPTION((''),'2;1');

FILE_NAME('3241288-001','2015-05-05T',('mganze01'),(''),

'PRO/ENGINEER BY PARAMETRIC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, 2014000',

'PRO/ENGINEER BY PARAMETRIC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, 2014000','');

FILE_SCHEMA(('CONFIG_CONTROL_DESIGN'));

ENDSEC;

DATA;
