Copy pasted sketch items are completely mangled when exported to dxf

Copy pasted sketch items are completely mangled when exported to dxf

I created a sketch, drew my lines, and then made an item I didn't want to remake in exact positions 3 more times, so I copied the initial item, then copy pasted it using the point to point move command with some reference lines which I then deleted. 
Once the sketch is finished, I save it as dxf from the right click menu, and open the exported file to check it over. 
The result is as shown in the attached images. In the source file image the red circled items were copy pasted. When deleting the mangled lines in the exported dxf, I can see that all the non copy pasted items are unaffected by this bug. 
Is there a solution to this issue other than simply not copy pasting? This will waste significant time for me on projects with any more complexity.

Your picture did not make your post.  I have created a Screencast using the process, I think, you did and then used the "Save as DXF" command to save it to my hard drive.  I then imported it into another file without error.  Take a look and see if I did something different or you see something to help your situation.

Thanks for taking the trouble, its odd the files didn't make it, i'll add some gyazo links in this message instead of attaching them hopefully that fixes it. 
I like that you struggled with the right click menu the same way I have been, I thought I was going crazy but I guess its an issue for everyone haha. 
Ill try making a screencast once I get some time.

Here are the screenshots. 
The sketch:

The exported file:

I had the sketch profile disabled in the first image which is why it looks different.

This does not look right.  What we need is for you to attach your model, which includes the sketch you are exporting.  There is nothing to base our comments on by just having pictures.  The Model will mean a lot more than a Screencast and it is quicker. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.
