For some reason I cannot stack dimensions anymore. Even when I try to stack mtext it doesn't work. Is there something that may have been changed in dim styles or anywhere else that has caused this? Does anyone know how to correct this? Thanks.

This sounds like an AutoCAD question. This is the Inventor forum. You may want to repost in the AutoCAD forum.

No, this is an Inventor question. I have always been able to stack text when editing a dimension but cannot do that anymore. (Edit dimension, Text tab). We would typically type our text with a carat between what we want to stack, then right click to select stack. The menu option is there but it isn't stacking.
You confused me with "mtext". That is an Acad term. Apologies.

Yes you can stack text in Inventor, Unfortunitly there is a issue with it in Inventor 2012, It has been brought to developments attention. Sorry I don't have a time frame for a fix.
I am still using Inventor 2011 and could stack dimensions and text in it up until a short while ago. The menu options are there but they do not change anything. Also, all of my coworkers can still do this. What could have caused this? I'm using XP Pro 64 with SP2, Autodesk Inventor 2011 64 bit edition with SP2, (Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2010 32 bit, recently rolled back to 32 bit due to SAP editor pains...) Sorry to hear 2012 has issues with that. Thanks.
The cause of this issue has been found, the cause is the Inventor 2012 installation that needs to change some registry keys of previous Inventor versions and it does in an incorrect way.
In order to solve this problem just modify the 2 registry keys show in the attached images adding the indicated slash "/" character that is actually missing.
Hope this helps.

Fixed mine too
this fix has been submitted to our IT guy to fix all the others in the dept who have experienced the same problem.
Hi,
I'm now getting this same error in Autodesk Inventor Professional 2015. The registry edit is clearly the solution that is needed, but the folder {FB469644-3F14-4403-ACCA-6B13486FF7BD} does not exist in my registry. I assume the same files have been moved to a different location for the 2015 version. Can you provide the new location?
Thanks,
Will
