Random Extra Text Nodes in Drawings

I have DGN and CEL files that have thousands of extra random text nodes.  Like some have 40,000+!  Does anyone know what is causing this and how to get a wrangle on it?  I'm not placing text anywhere near 95% of where the extra nodes are appearing.  Yes, I know I can turn off the text nodes but that doesn't delete them from the file and it's causing the files to bog down upon opening or inserting a cell from the library.  I have cleaned up countless files and have my drafters check every drawing as well but this is getting obnoxious.

I attached a .cel cell library.

  • It looks like this file was created back in June of 2018. My thought is the original file this was created from had the text nodes already there. Like someone copied an existing file and attempted to delete everything, but missed the text nodes.

    Was this file a copy of another file? When I reference one model to another all of the nodes line up with each other. The ID's are different in each file, but the point locations are the same.

    Someone could have referenced in another file and merged it as well.

  • Thank you for your reply!

    No it wasn't a copy.  And as for the merging of anything, I'm not aware of anything being referenced in or merged.  The file I attached is a standard cell library and the details are created in the model, scaled and put into the cell border.  The models that aren't included in my example file attached to my previous post doesn't have all the model views included to keep the file size down but the cell border template model views are clean of the extraneous nodes so I have no idea how the extra ones show up in the copies of those border models.  I can usually figure things like this out but I'm totally baffled and it's happening to random dgns and cell libraries. 

  • Are you running any other products? Civil or GIS software? Are you using some sort of custom tools to create and place the text? What version of Microstation are you running?
