The write wizard can be a bit tricky. First, any time you enter a number into a box in Mach3, you MUST hit the enter key, or it won't take the number. Second, you have to make sure EVERY option is set or it won't work. Most likely your missing a checkbox somewhere, or there is some info missing that it needs.
As for the .dxf, text usually won't work when converting .dxf's. Save as an even older version .dxf, 10-12 if possible. And if that doesn't work, post the .dxf here and I'll tell you why it doesn't work. Most likely the .dxf contains splines, which usually can't be comverted.
There is a .dxf export vba macro created by a Corel user, available for download in the files section of the SheetCAM Yahoo group which might work a little better as well. You have to join the SheetCAM group to get it.
You might also try LazyCAM, included in the latest release of Mach3. It might read objects that the older importer your using doesn't.
