I am using Civil3D 2012 and have a drawing that will not allow me to add Contour Labels. This is the first time I have had this problem. While searching for possible solutions the only thing I came across was this Knowledge Base post that describes my issue exactly but the solution does not fix the problem...
Unable to create contour labels
You were unable to create contour labels. When you tried to create a single contour label, you could not select any of the contour lines of a surface. When you tried to create multiple contour labels, the contour label line disappeared after you selected the second point.
Solution
You cannot create contour labels unless your model uses the UCS World coordinate system. To resolve this issue
You should now be able to create the contour labels successfully
I tried switching my UCS a few times, double checked all surface feature settings and label styles, tried it on different surfaces in the same drawing, restarting, auditing, I even tried switching visual styles to assure it was in 2D and no luck.
Any suggestions or has anyone else encountered this issue?

I would check the Label Style you are using and check the General and the Layout tabs and make sure that "visibility" is true.
I'm running into the same issue and I have finally figured out that my labels are going to the C-TOPO-TEXT layer (thanks Jeff). However my label style settings, for JF Eng Proposed, are set to send the text to C-CONT-LABL-N (overide checked) as you can see in the attached image. I've selected the label, and you can also see that the style is set to JF Eng Proposed, but it is on C-TOPO-TEXT.
I'm having a similar problem where my spot elevations are placed on layer C-TOPO-TEXT but my current layer is C-ANNO-GRDG-EX and my spot elevation style is using layer 0. How do I change the default layer from C-TOPO-TEXT to label on the current layer?
