Listing detailed block information?

Hello,

Is there a way to list detailed block information within a drawing and all in one place.  What I really want to see is the block name, which layer it is on (inserted), and the size.  Thanks.

QUICKPROPERTIES is an option (hover or select object to see info)
PROPERITES left open on a second monitor is another option.

Adding visible FIELDs into attributes inside each and every block to see that info all the time without much effort is the third option.

BTW the C3D forum is over here if these are more C3D objects as there might be even more appropriate options for your variant to explore https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d/ct-p/4003

These do them individually.  I';m looking for something more along the lines of when you enter "-B", ?", and you get a list of all blocks, but I want more info that that gives.

You don't want information about blocks, but for block references!
