Inventor 2026 'various files' in drawing browser

[jmckone9Z5PD]

Is there any significance to the 'various files' comment listed after some pages in the drawing browser in Inventor Pro ?  Just curious if this is something that needs attention or is an 'information' comment.

Hi! This is an enhancement in 2026 to show the model sources on a sheet. When the drawing views on the sheet come from multiple model sources, the drawing sheet will be labeled as such.

Many thanks!

This is especially useful for large sheets where many different subassemblies or components may be arranged next to each other on one sheet.
Being aware of the diversity of components (e.g., frame structures) allows you to navigate the sheet more easily than if you were to unknowingly search for connections between different views, and waste time.

Many browser elements can now be configured according to your preferences (freedom state, parameter values, etc.).
You can create an idea in Idea Station and request the option to disable this feature.

We always have a problem when a drawing is linked to multiple models, because in the end this also means that multiple items are attached to it in Vault, making it difficult to release the item. So this display is actually very helpful. Unfortunately, it only applies to drawing views. If custom iProperties from assembly components are used in drawing texts, the file is still referenced by multiple models, but the “Various Files” display does not appear here. It would be great if this were included.
