Multiple Planes?

I fellow coworker of mine had imported a 3D sketch and used it into a 2D drawing. We use many of the same parts so we make blocks of these parts (this reduces time making the same parts over and over). Anyhow, when we use any of the blocks that were created in the drawing with the 3D sketch there are multiple planes on the same axis but this is only noticable looking at the right view, front view looks totally normal. Many of our drawings seem to have this problem because it has gone on for 6 months!!! I am new here and I would like to try and find a solution for this before it gets more out of hand.

My question: Is there away to combine planes if they are on the same axis? I dont really care about the drawing that has the 3D sketch in it, I just care about all of the other drawings it is affecting. Any input would be helpful. Thanks again.
