I know this is annoying. Two things can help:
1. If you make sure that you copy whole measures, with no partial
measure selection, Finale should copy the measures exactly as you wrote
them.
2. Go to Options > Quantization Settings and click on More Settings.
Here you will find the option "Allow Dotted Rests", which (with a bit
of luck) should allow you to copy partial measures and keep the dotted
rests.

Not quite the same, but reading this reminded me of it: I use dotted
quarter rests in 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8, because I think it makes it easier
to see where the beats are. Whenever I copy a measure, Finale turns
each
of these into a quarter plus an eighth. This is just what I would
expect
Sibelius to do (:-)> but is there somewhere that I can tell Finale to
believe me?
