DXF shown but "Some entities could not be converted properly" when importing to sketch

I can import the dxf file from https://www.dropbox.com/s/i4k3lcjuu7jxxxc/lufthuller skriver.dwg?dl=0
and i see the drawing when clicking the tab.
When I am in a "part" making a sketch I would like to import the dxf. Selecting "import dxf" give me the option to select the correct file name.
After clicking the file name I get a blue info at the top stating that "Some entities could not be converted properly."
How can I place the drawing from the imported drawing tab into a sketch?

Was the dxf made with Illustrator?
There seems to be a bug in Onshape when importing dxf/dwg files that were created with Illustrator into a sketch.
I don't know of any way to transfer something in a Drawing tab back into a Part Studio.
If you use the feedback tool, someone from Onshape can take a look at the file see what the problem might be for sure.

Sorry for the long response time. I imagined that I would get an email when someone posted here
On closer inspection of my illustrator file, I had 4 instances of points (anchors) sitting exactly on top of each other. I cleaned up those extra points -and the file imported just fine.
