Not sure that LCam will read all the various DXF's in Autocad, but I just saved a drawing under the 2007 DXF format (Using AutocadLT 2009 Student version) and LCam read it without any trouble.  But, it wasn't text file, just a file with lot of angles and lines.

I am pretty sure that I have saved under other versions of AC and retrieved without problems since I don't always remember to use the R12 DXF format.

I have not been successful in bring DXF text into AC - nor has using the Text application in AutoCad produced TEXT that can be read by LCam.  For this I generally use two programs - CADX11 and DeskEngrave.  Using both I have developed text for several pieces that I have been working on.  DeskEngrave (a free program) will also produce a DXF file that LCam reads without any problem.

CADX11 is also a free program (although licensed version will handle much larger files).

I use Autocad 2004 Lazycam loads all the 3 available dxf save formats . I have to use the drawing screen that comes up when Autocad starts up. I get no problems with the dxf's I save .When I load a template and do a drawing Lazycam will not load the dxf .
Hope this helps

Appendix "C" in the LAZYTURN Manual which can be found in Members Doc's covers DXF fiile imports
at a high level and would be worth reading. the info applies to Lazycam Turn also in my opinion.
