Never tried but have you tried downloading from the online dashboard?  Just navigate to the design and select download and select DXF as the file type, might not export the sketch but worth a try.

 

Another option window select the curves with all sketches visible, hide all sketches, create a new sketch and paste.

These appear to be identical parts.  You only need to model one, then use a pattern to place them.  Use one pattern for the horizontal ones and one for the vertical.  Use the Suppress option to remove unneeded parts.

 

To create a dxf from the current file, I extruded a rectangular block, then extruded each sketch to cut the block. A sketch was created on the face of the block, then the block was projected to the sketch.  Finally, the sketch was exported as a dxf.

however the DXF it exported was out of scale. very limited support for this on Fusion i feel.
