Editing nested blocks

[Anonymous]

Is there a way of editing nested blocks and then saving without going all the way back to modelspace and having to repeat the steps?

Eg Open block A -  open block B inside. Save Block C then go back to modelspace.

Have to open block A - open block C. Save block C then go back to modelspace.

Or worse if there are more nested items.

I want to be able to go up one level inside the block editor.

Sketchup has this function for going up a level with nested items. 

Thanks

Use REFEDIT instead of the block editor !

Thanks! that's works for what I want to do currently.  

It doesn't solve the issue when I don't know if there are blocks inside a block and only find out once inside, but it is a useful command anyway.

Doesn't it?  It shows you the list of nesting, with the lowest-level Block you picked on highlighted.  I made a Block called "test," then one called "junk" with "test" nested in it, then one called "trash" with "junk" nested in it.  When I use REFEDIT and pick on part of the ingredients of the "test" Block nested two levels down in an insertion of "trash," I get this:

and I can edit that nested Block definition just by picking OK, because that's the highlighted one.  But when I pick on a piece of "trash" that is not part of either nested Block, I get this:

in which the tree structure informs me that there are nested Blocks in it, and even what they are.  I can then select one of those for editing if I want, even though it's not the part I picked on.
