Answer
The only ways I can think of:

1-- Look for an add-on software or a custom routine created by someone. What you ask is totally outside my field, but I investigated a bit.
IF you had told me what your field was, I might have had a software suggestion -- so use Google, trade websites, or the AutoDesk Forums that suit your field.

2-- Use schedule-capable tags to tag the points. If you can't find an "add on", you need to be  using a vertical application of AutoCAD -- such as AutoCad Architecture, Civil3D, Revit, etc --- which have the intelligence to recognize and schedule (make a table).
Note that if you do not wish to see tags or callouts at the points, you can freeze their layer, or make it non-plot.

And please recognize that questions with no context, rather than "I am an X,with Y experience, doing Z - can you help me with task A" are harder to answer well. I think I gave you the best possible answer. Write again if you need to.
