1. Combine objects
2. Place all UVs into a single space
3. Bake again or move/scale/rotate all the maps by hand in photoshop

there is no solution i forgot to do it i want a tool to do it

There's no tool, if you didn't put all UVs into a single space before baking and you don't want to re-bake you will have to use photoshop to combine maps.

Solution: just re-bake

Most of that can be done with Maxscript or Mel, but that depends on that program you're using.

Hit up scriptspot.com I seem to remember a few, merge objects scripts floating around.

Wait hold on, are all of the objects exactly the same? Like a bunch of bolts or rivets and you want them to share the same texture area? If so, I think TexTools had a "stack similar UV shells" button, but it's been a while since I've used it.

OR

Are they unique objects that you want to put onto one sheet? If that's the case you can just select all of the objects, apply UVW Unwrap (which instances it to all of the objects) and you can unwrap them all at the same time without having to merge them together.

it is a weapon objects are unique each has baked and each has own uv, i want to combine them but i have to repack uvs so i will lost position of textures
