Create Points - Intersections - Object/Alignments (Automatically)

Is it Possible to generate cogo points at intersections of objects and alignments automatically?  We typically use the (Create Points - Intersections object/alignments) which works great but currently the command requires the user to select the objects one at a time.  It would be nice if the cogo points can be generated automatically.  We have pipeline alignments that are 30 plus miles sometimes and use the cogo points at crossings to generate tables (coordinates/description...).  the current command of one at time can take a very long time.  I know ArcGIS can automatically generate points and wondering if Civil3D will be adopting that capability.  We are currently using Civil3D 2016 and will be rolling out 2018 this year.  Maybe there is third party add on that can perform this task.  Image is the command I mentioned above and the command that generates points at vertices automatically.  Looking for a combo of both.

Yes, DotSoft's C3DTools contains a Point > Add On Objects tool.  It processes a selection set and eliminates duplicates where they would occur.  Try the full working 60-day evaluation to see for yourself.
