Numbered nodes in Illustrator

My boss somehow pushed a wrong keyboard command or something, and now all of his Illustrator files are showing up with small numbers inside of a sqare next to every single node in every shape. I'm trying to help him get rid of those without having to re-install.

 

Has anyone ever seen this phenomenon and know how to turn it off?

Do you have any third party plugins installed?

These do not look like artboard numbers and neither slices.

Yes, he has CAD Modules installed.

That's kind of a cool feature. Applications that run routing tables will let users define the #1 entry point for a tool bit to start cutting a shape as well as the in/out directions for the tool bit to take. Some applications will even number the anchor points (as shown above). Not everyone needs such capability, but it is good for cutting materials like aluminum, acrylic, etc.


Good to hear, but do you know how to turn it off?
