Nothing built-in but you can do it with a little customizing http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?86184-AutoCAD-Mass-Convert-DWG-To-DXF-(Batch-Convert-DW...)

Documentation tips:

How to convert multiple DWG files to DXF:

Our JTB SmartBatch app could be used together with a simple script like the below (save to a file with .scr extension) that save each drawing to DXF with JTB SmartBatch.

Script code starts below:

FILEDIA
0
_SAVEAS
DXF
_V
2013


FILEDIA
1
QUIT
;

Script code ends with the QUIT above and the last row can be empty or having a semicolon.

Depending on how you want the DXF files to be created you might want to modify it slightly.

Drawings saved in DXF format have these additional prompts.

• Decimal places of accuracy. Specifies from 0 to 16 decimal places.
• Binary. Creates a binary DXF file. Binary DXF is generally faster and more compact than ASCII DXF files.
• Select objects. Prompts you to select specific objects to be saved in DXF format.
• Preview. Specifies whether you want to save a thumbnail image of the saved file.
• Version. Specifies which product version to use for the saved DXF file.

You need a script file, and a script processor to run it through all of those file: this one works well in our office

Or try others

Try attached DwgACCDwg2Dxf.lsp which offers you the option to select the folder with the dwgs to save as dxfs without the need to open them in AutoCAD' GUI
