How do I mirror an xref with text and get it so the text still reads correctly?

What would be the best way to bring a floor plan in with text, and mirror it so it will still show the text in the right direction, but also be able to edit the orginal floor plan and it would update the mirrored copy also?

And has autocad been working on a way mirror an xref and retain the correct text direction?

There is no built-in way to do this to my knowledge. I suppose
it would be possible to write such an application but would be
far from a "walk in the park". I don't know anything about
Autodesk development plans.

Attributes behave the way you want, but not text. To fix the text, you can
try it manually using REFEDIT command.

I don't think RefEdit is going to solve his problem.

Yes it will: REFEDIT, select the text, start PROPERTIES, change Backward
from Yes to No. Or, just mirror it (switch mirrtext off). Problem with it
though, it flips all definitions of the block.
