Export DXF without construction lines

I have a slightly complicated design that I'd like to export the sketch as a DXF for, and send that to a manufacturer.  I would prefer to keep all the construction lines as they would take time to remove, and I would need to refer to them for future design modifications.  The problem is, the DXF files show all lines as equal, including construction lines.  Thanks.

I have to agree with a lot of people on here about the inclusion of construction lines in the dxf. I must admit that I have only started using Fusion 360 but to me it seems a bit strange to include both the lines and construction lines in the same layer (or whatever it is called). I sometimes have to create complex footprints for components because the Altium software package that I use has a horrible interface for the design of footprints, so I am forced to use a CAD package and I have to delete the lines in the imported file.

 

Searching through the forums, it is still a relevant topic and people are just as confused as to why exporting a DXF file doesn't contain information about the line types.

 

Anyway, I hope that some Fusion 360 developer comes across this post and decides to raise it with the team that an option be present to include/exclude construction lines, and also provide those lines as a different type.
