Export sketch as DXF - exclude projected geometry?

Is it possible to exclude projected geometry from exports to DXF? I use projections and construction lines to build the drawing, but don't need them for my exports. At the same time, I would also like to maintain the appearance of my sketch geometry, so I can distinguish the curves the way I see them in Inventor or set them up using the geometry properties (the settings you can configure in the dialog below).

E: I have also tried to mark the sketches for export and to then export the entire file with just the sketches I need, but then it still only comes in as a single layer 0 without layer styles/ line colours.

You can also make projected geometry as construction lines, will that work for you?

I am tracing over an image, which makes it hard to see construction lines. I ended up extruding the sketches and reproject them to their baseplane (XY) to create a clean outline.

It's quite unfortunate that there's no more fine-grained control over exported sketch geometry and their layer styles in DXF/ DWG.
