I'm not familiar with the software you mentioned in your post; however, the context in which I use blocks - they are objects that you can manipulate and add to a drawing with and with out attributes. I have a library of blocks drawn in individual sheets and I extract those and drop them into new drawings as opposed to drawing something from scratch every time. An example would be compasses and symbols.

Now I view program Ivan Explorer and IvanSampleR27.dwg - it seems that all drawing entities are grouped by Block.

Help [here for AutoCAD 2017, but this topic won't be much different in other versions] will tell you about Blocks.
