A new discovery in Civil 3D 2012 is text that cannot be modified. I experienced this the other day when trying to label and dimension a CAD drawing. The text was immune to all efforts to move, erase, rotate, etc. the text was somehow locked into it's current state. It would dissapear after executing the command but reappear after a regen. If you experience this problem I recommend using this hotfix to return the text to an editable state.
1. At the command prompt type DTEXTED. (This is the dtext editor mode selector.)
2. Type 1 & Press [ENTER]. (Setting the dtext editor mode 2 = new dynamic edit
in place mode & 1 = classic edit text in dialog box.)
3. Type AUDIT. Press Y to fix all errors. (Forces Civil 3d to stop locking items
& use new mode)
4. Save your drawing and now you will not have the problem with the locked out
text.(Object was open for read = error)
Dont forget to run the Audit command after changing the Dtext editor or the changes wont work.
Hope this helps.

I get this same error when trying to rotate a stucture. I tried the dtexted and it fixed the problem. Any ideas why the dtext would affect the way structures display?
