mirror windows

[brizzo1982]

Good morning, everyone.
can you tell me if you can perform mirroring operations in the windows (viewport) in the layouts, avoiding mirroring even the texts contained in the model?
explanation of facts.
I need to draw emergency plans for a building.
design all floors of the building in the model, including symbols and everything else.
to realize each emergency plan I would like to use the layouts and windows.
the problem arises when I have to mirror the window (because the emergency floor will be attached to the opposite wall).
I use the command view and then select the option by typing ap: so mirror the contents of the window, texts of the rooms included.
mirrtext option is fine.

on the net I found this:http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-lt/mirror-viewports/m-p/1341028Do I have to resign? How can I proceed?
you have to know that this is the first approach I have in using autocad windows.

Thank you.

Do I have to resign?

I think so. I'm sorry, but I didn't understand the sense of mirroring a window!

that process you linked is not a mirror, it is only a change of view.

Have you ever seen an emergency plan?
those small scale planes hung on the interior walls of buildings with indications of the exodus routes and protective devices (fire, etc.)?
the need arises from the fact that the plan of the emergency must always be oriented in the sense that one looks at it: a second floor of emergency, placed on a wall opposite the first, to maintain to the plane the orientation in the sense in which you look, the latter must be or mirrored 2 times or rotated 180°.
until recently we have always realized the plans drawing one by one, using the double mirror to avoid having to rotate the texts continuously.
now I would like to draw all the building once only in the model, and realize the plans individually in the layouts.
I therefore need, once I set the window of the part that I want is displayed in the plane, that a rotation or a mirror of the display inside the window still keeps the texts (and possibly the blocks) unmoved.

I hope to be clear.

Okay, thanks plannerroad.

I fear that the only possible solution, as adopted by several architecture studies, is to write texts on 4 layers different with the 4 orientations (0°, 90°, 180° and 270°), and keep on in the layout only what I need.
the same for the blocks.
at this point I would abandon the double mirror to predict the simple rotation of the window with the command above.

...write the texts on 4 layers different with the 4 orientations (0°, 90°, 180° and 270°), and keep on in the layout only what I need.. .

mirroring the texts and putting them on the various layers, you can also mirror the planes by entering the layout windows (with unblocked display) and setting the viewpoint 0.0,-1
