    Zoom to a block

    I have a large drawing that serves as a database for storing bits and pieces of geo-referenced data as blocks. When the drawing gets large enough or cluttered enough, it becomes difficult to determine where additional blocks land when inserted. I am wondering if there is a way to zoom to a selected block? Like Civil 3D objects, it would be nice if one could pick a block from a list, right click and select 'zoom to'. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this?

     

    Thank you.

    There may be better/faster ways but this will work

     

    QSELECT > Block Reference > Name > Type yourblockname or select it from the list > Press <enter>.  Without deselecting what QSELECT found,  ZOOM > Object
