White ball in the model Three

[igorGNFSJ]

Hello!

Can anyone explain me what is this symbol or "White ball" in front of the name?

Every day I create several files — IPT, IAM, frame, etc. But suddenly, out of nowhere, this started showing up. I’m not sure if it has something to do with the template.

I even tried checking the topic below, but without success. My intention is to remove it.

Hi

As Gabriel mentioned, this ball describes the binding constraints state of the component. You can disable it in the browser menu (hamburger menu).

I've not heard the term 'binding state' but this is to do with degrees of freedom.
