This will never work because AutoCAD and the DXF format have no support for Illustrator clipping masks or any equivalent feature that would be correctly interpreted by AutoCAD.

When using these options I recieve a dxf file that simply has two embedded raster images inside of it. Not very helpful.

Does AutoCAD support masks at all?
