Imported DXF not producing faces

Hi, im trying to import DXF drawings from Inkscape.

I have the one Inkscape file that I copy parts to be exported to DXF and export them separately. One is imported just well enough to produce faces to extrude, while the other is failing to do that. Moreover, when importing failing drawing, any modifications done in the sketch wont produce faces either, even simple ones like centerpoint circle. Do you know any fix this in onshape, or any tool to properly translate SVG to DXF so onshape could import it better?

I even succeded in importing similar drawing before but after slight modifications and reexporting it fails miserably.

Here is the document in question.

    The highlighted lines are duplicated - identical arc segments directly on top of one another.

    Select them manually one at a time and delete.

    Thank you so much! It works now!

    I had no idea this could be the cause. My earlier tries had lots of duplicated lines and it didn't have such effect.
