Sorry, this might be a very basic question. 

Wanted to use 2d autocad blocks from Herman Miller. I downloaded their CAD Pack software and then 1 or 2 items from the catalog. 

http://www.hermanmiller.com/content/hermanmiller/english/design-resources/3d-models-revit/autocad-symbols/download-cad-pack.html

How do I pull these 2d autocad blocks into my auto cad 2013 program ?

Thanks!

One option is to use the INSERT command, browse to the folder where the blocks are stored, select the block and away you go.

Another option would be to put all the blocks in a master drawing then use the Design Center to drag and drop the block(s) you need from the master drawing into the drawing you are working on.

And a third option would be to create a custom tool palette and populate it with the blocks that you then drag and drop into your drawing.

Is that enough choices for you?
