How to convert multiple blocks to one block?

I have multiple blocks but I want to convert those blocks into only one block. It has a solution or not?

More detail, please. If you want to lump them all together into one object, you can use BLOCK to define your "one Block" and select all Block Insertions to be a part of it. But that will not reduce the length of the list of Blocks in your image -- they will all still exist, as nested Blocks within the one you have defined. If you want to turn every Insertion of all those Block names into an Insertion of just one Block definition [it's hard to imagine a situation where that would be wanted, but...], there are various Block Replacement functions available, including the BLOCKREPLACE Express Tool in AutoCAD [it's called "Replace Block" in the Express Tools ribbon], that could do it for you. Most of those also will not eliminate the other Block definitions, but PURGE would, afterwards, if you have replaced every Insertion of every other Block name.

Import all blocks individually with "Insert" and put the hook at "origin". After that use the command "BLOCK" and select all Objects..

Then you should be able to combine them all to one Block.

At last you can use "_audit" to delete all the Blocks you don't need anymore.
