Addition of duplicate connectors

[bdean123456]

I am new to fabrication. After setting up all of the connectors the way that I want them, I find that (upon using them in jobs) the jobs add duplicate connectors to the list of connectors similar to the following:
TDC
TDC {job}
TDC {job}
TDC {job}

Is there a way to prevent this duplication of the connectors in the database?

I think that I may have fixed it. Here is what I did...

The database seemed to have some sort of corrupt setting or something, so I created a new database with a copy of the out of the box Imperial database.

I then went into my database and exported all my materials, seams, connectors etc.

Then in the new database I imported them all. This along with the setup of my machines basically got me a clean database without the duplicate connectors issue that I was experiencing. The problem now was that I did not have user level access control like I wanted. That was a simple matter of copying the "users" folder out of the old "database" folder into the new "database" folder, this added the user level access control and made a new clean database that did not have the corruption from before.

Mariah, thank you for all the work you have put in on helping me with this issue. I am not sure if you are wanting to keep chasing this and see if you can pin-point where the corruption was in my old database, but I am going to mark this as a solution. I would be willing to help you if you want to keep working on it though.

Thanks again!

Hello @bdean123456 ,

I'm happy to hear you found a solution! It may have been random corruption, instead of a bad setting somewhere, in that case it would be very hard to narrow down and the best thing is the rebuilding of the database that you did. I'll make notes of this in case we see it again, this was a very strange issue. 

Thank you for sticking with it, and letting me know how you resolved it!
