Creo provides an option to export an drawing file to dxf is as follows,
 DXFExportInstructions dxfexportInstructions = pfcModel.DXFExportInstructions_Create(); draw.Export(draw.GetFullName(), dxfexportInstructions);

Instead we can set through the Config file ,Jlink allows you to get and set config options:String originalValue = session.GetConfigOption("dxf_export_format");//original versionsession.SetConfigOption("dxf_export_format", "2013");//desired value//do something...session.SetConfigOption("dxf_export_format", originalValue);//reset to original value

Take a look at the config.pro option dxf_export_format. I don't know for sure if this controls the version when exported from jlink however I suspect it does. This option can be set from jlink if needed.
