One new option you may have noticed when creating blocks is the ability to restrict the block from being exploded. See the illustration below, if the Allow Exploding box is not checked, then you will not be able to explode this block.

If you run into a block like this and use the EXPLODE command, you will see this at the command line:

Command: EXPLODE
Select objects: 1 found
Select objects:
1 could not be exploded.

To modify the block to allow exploding, run the BLOCK command, pick the block name from the list, check the Allow Exploding box, then the OK button. You will see the following dialog, then click Yes.

Now you are able to explode this block.
