I don't know autocad 14, but you should be able to "export" or "save as" the file directlly from autocad. This could prevent some troubles done by the dwg to dxf converter.

I tested autocad 2007, save all as dwg (using format autocad 2000) - it is a option when saving as dwg, without problems.

See if you can export it as an autocad rev 12DXF ... I don't know autocad.. never used the stuff.
