If you are talking about loading the midi pattern from the vst step sequencer too sonar, if you go down to the bottom level of the vst, where the kits are etc, you will also see a section with midi patterns , and you can quite simply drag into sonar from one of the little boxes /pattern dialogue boxes which go down in a row on your vst, not sure about audio, as I only use midi for this as its more flexible to edit after.
Just bare in mind a lot of times sonar when using drag and drop midi, more often than not will drag to the wrong track or add a new one for it, it finds it hard to drop it on the track you intended, but no problem overall, just then drag back to the intended track.
