Circle pattern not exporting to dxf.

I have done this a hundred times and today I can't get it to work. When exporting the sketch to dxf, I either get all the circles created with arcs and segments. (double lines) or only the outer and inner circles drawn with arcs. But the two circular patterns do not export.  Examples and model attached.

I have tested it and cannot confirm any of your statements

I opened your supplied DXF "Double lines.dxf" in AutoCAD and checked to entities for the holes and inside and outside circles and they are not in segments.  I also created one of my own from your model and the circles are complete and not in segments.  In this supplied model you do have a 3D Solid buried inside the file along with the individual circles, maybe that is throwing you off.

No I do not.  As I stated, in the Double Lines.dxf, you have a 3D Solid behind all the individual entities.  If you have a low resolution viewer, that may be throwing you off.  If I open the same DXF back into Fusion 360, it filters out the 3D Solid and only brings in the entities, all complete and non-segmented circles.

Thank you, it was my viewer that was causing me problems. Imported the file back into Fusion and it was perfect all along.
