It's basically any sketch figure or combination of connected sketch figures. In the below example, we show text traversing a line, arc, elliptical arc, into a spline.

As you point out, lines are not necessarily interesting. However, combinations of lines can be:

That is more down to the font used. Many fonts are badly formed.
Show me which fonts will work in this example? It extrudes just fine with any font I tried UNTIL I constrianed it to the center of a reference line.
Please check the Symbol:
That's why there is an option to explode the 2D Sketch. (text)

What does the number of references have to with it? I simply projected the rectangle with maintain association so I could center the text to it. Then, when the rectangle dimension changes, the text stays center.
I answered a question from Ken. You have changed the sense of my quote.What does the number of references have to with it? I simply projected the rectangle with maintain association so I could center the text to it. Then, when the rectangle dimension changes, the text stays center.

Stuart,
It looks like a limitation of the "Text Figure" feature when references are inserted into the sketch with the text.
Ken, please take a look, there are 5x "References" in this Sketch/Text Figure:

Also, the text doesn't even need to be constrained to the midpoint. Just the existence of the midpoint in the same sketch will make it fail.Sure, I get that.
But, why does it work fine, without exploding, once the node which is constrained to the right side, vertical reference figure is deleted?

Yes, a bug that's been there for many releases and never gets fixed. I always want to center text, so it's very frustrating. My latest project is a panel with many labels on it, but I can't easily position the labels.Yes, I noticed that.
Just a bug, I guess?
I tried it by pasting in custom symbols from the drawing environment (they year similar format to text symbols), and the bah doesnt manifest with cistom symbols. Kinda weird.

I think for what you want to achieve, you can certainly find other solutions, of course only if you want.
If not, I would send a feature request for improvement in a ticket if I were you.

Recent releases having many cosmetic improvements but only a small fraction of functional bugs I've reported over years being fixed is my biggest fustration with Alibre. I wish the basics would work. I cross my fingers on each release that some of them will get fixed, but rarely does it happen.
Sorry if I was curt. These problems have been so very frustrating to me for so long.Whether it is a limitation or a bug, everyone can see how he wants.
As I said before:
My intention was to help, on a Sunday evening, but not to argue.
I wish you a nice day anyway.
