Hello @bdean123456 ,

I was able to talk to a couple colleagues about this, and we were able to come up with two scenarios that could cause this behavior:

• If the jobs you are opening up where created in a different configuration, they are adding their items to your database. Make sure jobs are created and used in the same configuration to prevent this. 
• If the connectors were created in the configuration, and added to jobs, then deleted from the configuration, each job will start adding them back when opened up. 
  • You can right click any of the connections, and select 'Make permanent' to add them back to the database.  

Some info regarding these scenarios and purging out the added items form the database can be found here: Purge Database | Fabrication Products 2017 | Autodesk Knowledge Network
