DXF R12 cannot save all the information in your drawing and should be considered a legacy export format only. DXF R12 will not save your custom properties or the real colors of entities. Splines are converted to polylines on export. Black entities and layers are saved as white.

I'd suggest to keep your drawing in a newer DXF or DWG file format and export to DXF R12 when needed, perhaps with file name mydrawing_r12.dxf or similar to distinguish the main data from the exports.
