I can recommend 2 rather circuitous methods of dxf import that have worked
for me in the past.
1. Syndesis includes a pc executable called dxf23ds.exe or some
such. It will get the offending dxf into a much more solid
3ds (usually) which will then import to LW much better.
2. If you have access to Imagine 3.1, it now has one of the most
solid dxf import/export routines I've seen. Save out the file
as .iob and convert to LW.
Hope this helps.
