If you know the projection you need, choose it from this list to get a PRJ file back. Note that this will not convert data projections, it will just give you a PRJ file to accompany your data.

Bulk AutoCAD DXF to Shapefile Converter

This tool will allow you to convert one or more AutoCAD DXF files into shapefiles in one pass. Note that this converter does not support DWG, only DXF.

In addition to geometry, the DXF layer names are preserved as an attribute table field. Any custom coloring or thicknesses are also stored as attributes, and any label rotation is saved in the -text.shp attribute table. The desktop version can also handle more complex entities such as LWPOLYLINE bulge values.
