Without the file there isn't much we can do. If you can share it, even in DM that would be helpful. There are half a dozen reasons that can or have caused this in the past:

I agree the Export to DXF does not work correctly. You can workaround this by creating a sketch on top of the flat pattern, with bend lines or not, and then use the Save as DXF command by right clicking on the sketch in the Browser. The Model contains the flat pattern sketch. Model and DXF are attached.

When you create the sketch, on top of the flat pattern, you simply project the bend lines, as I did, the same time as you project the outside edges. I turned off the extend lines, in the flat pattern, to make it easier to do.

The DXF I attached opens as a valid sketch, including the bend lines, so Ido not know anything else that can be done.

Do you have a commercial license? You can create a 2d drawing using the flat pattern(make sure you have the scale set to 1:1). Then in the drawings workspace just hide the title block and boarder so you only get the flat pattern then export as a DXF.

I expect the problem is you need to set the line type and\or layer for the bend lines, so another option would be use another program like QCad to set the layer\line type.
