Cannot Export Flat Pattern

I cannot export a flat pattern. I get the error message "There was an unexpected problem with exporting the flat pattern as a DFX file." Weirdly, I still see the 3D body instead of a flat sketch in flat pattern mode. The only sketch lines are those marking the bend. I don't recall seeing this in the past.

A workaround for this is to create a 2d drawing of the flat pattern and export as a DXF. You can hide the border and title block so only the flat pattern is in the DXF.  

Edit. That does look a bit different to what i've seen before in the flat pattern workspace. Can you share the design as an f3d here?
