I used Autocad to clean up any drawing before importing to DXF. Also I put
everything on one layer(layer Zero) then out put DXF.
Then you have some clean up to do in Allegro after importing DXF.

Dharma,
It's likely that .dwg's are from Autocad. I have tried an evaluation of
Turbocad, and although there probably is not another product on the market
that matches it's price / functionality, I have found that it's
compatibility with Autocad .dwg and .dxf is a little flawed (text /
dimensions especially).
I did not look into the issue any further, as we were only evaluating
Turbocad as an option. You may want to check the Turbocad website to see if
there are user forums - might be some particular font that works well.
In Autocad, I usually output an older / stable version of dxf for inport
into Allegro (Allegro's translators may not always be in line with the most
recent Autocad dxf). Check the Allegro documentation to see what version of
dxf it prefers.
Hth,
Dave
