I think that the trick here is that acembuselik is having trouble loading a DXF file created by femm into Autocad, rather than the other way around (i.e. loading autocad-generated DXF into femm). I don't actually own AutoCAD 2002, but I've tested the DXF output results from various different geometries on Voloview, Autodesk's free viewer, as well as TurboCAD. In all cases, the DXF files were read without any errors.
Now, this certainly doesn't mean that something pathological isn't going on. However, you might double-check about exactly how you exported the DXF file. Make sure that you export to DXF by selecting the "Export DXF" selection from the file menu of the preprocessor. If, instead, you just did "Save As" and saved as a file named something like "mymotor.dxf", a file with a .dxf extension would be created, but it would contain information stored in the .fem file format, which is different than dxf. Without an example, this is my best guess as to what's going on.
