Give a little more background... What layer are they on? Are they on the defpoint layer? If so is the 0 layer turned off or frozen. That could be one cause.

They are on a separate text layer and pickfirst is on 1. All layers are on and not frozen. None of the selection commands or picks works on this text.

the next guess is:

 

is the text in model space, and you are in paper space looking at the text through a viewport?

 

If you can post the example we can find out more!

Here is the drawing. Said text is on the left in model space. Left it there to get it out of the way. Hopefully it is still in the same condition after uploading.

 

I appreciate the help!

 

is it the two lines of text over on the left? the one line is:

 

* BRONZE ANODIZED OR PAINTED TO RESEMBLE BRONZE ANODIZED?

ZenCAD,

 

I've come across this error as well. If you get rid of / explode all of your tables, you will be able to select the text again. Don't ask me why... but something about the tables is the cause of the problem.

go to your layer manager and change the color of the text, it will unlock and you can delete the text you dont want

 

you are spot on about changing color of text w/in layer manager

 

Q why does this happen in 1st place seems every release is getting buggier and buggier and why is adesk impossible to find any help with these kind of glitches better yet fix em when they are discovered

sorry now ranting

V2k2 had paste special %%product entites not perfect but worked better than table feature in 2007-Acad lays down vectors Word processes words excell processes data Acad should keep it like that. I imported table data form excel and it locked up random text elements in drawing on top of having to do a lot of tweaking of imported table to get it formated right

i'm not against change and improvements and v2k7 is great but why not just keep features from say previous major release and then include the new stuff

I have had issues with being able to highlight text. What I have to do is, while in model space, hit ctrl-A and select everything then hit the delete key and immediately do an undo.
