Problem exporting DXF causes Importing file as a picture. Why?

Hello all,

 

I am a fairly new user to Creo, so bare with me with some of the terminology, but I am having an issue with exporting a 2D sketch in Creo. When I export the file (shown in the pictures attached) and import it back into Creo the file shows up blank with only a picture of the DXF file that I was trying to make. I have tried importing the DXF on SolidWorks as well and this also results to the same issue. Does anyone know why this happening? Thank you in advance!

I don't know how you have done the export or import.
I have created a video to show you one way of how it can be done.
There is an option to exclude the paper rectangle in the export but I don't remember at the moment how that was done again.

The paper outline (rectangle) can be excluded by following this procedure.
