Currently, the assistant editor is on the bottom view:
I've gone to View > Change Editor Orientation, but it doesn't change anything. It just looks as it did before. I'm working on a 13 inch display if that could be a reason. I would like the display to have the storyboard and assistant editor side by side.
Thanks!
View > Change Editor Orientation does change something.
Please look at the little icon at the top right side of the editor window.
By default the assistant editor is opened at the right side
After selecting View > Change Editor Orientation the editor is opened on the bottom .
You can change the orientation temporarily by holding the ⌥ key

Somehow my scene editor fails to display helper tools (cameras, grid etc) in the design area. As the images shows I've enabled all tools but none of them are visible. I have tried to reset to default and also did a reinstall of Xcode, without success. Any suggestions?
In recent Xcode versions you can right-click in the scene and get the menu you need:
While in the SceneKit editor, in the menu bar click on Editor > Display > Show Grid
edit: In Xcode 10 the display menu is no longer available in the editor. You have to right click in the SceneKit Editor to access it.
I am completely new to Xcode. I would like to hide the View Controller Scene panel, so that I can follow on with a tutorial, and have more screen real estate. I understand that I can hide the left and right panels, but it's the panel I have highlighted in red which I want to hide. Many thanks.
There's a small icon representing that panel at the bottom of the storyboard view. It's just to the left of the spot that says "View as: iPhone 8..." in your image. Click that icon to toggle the visibility of the storyboard outline view.
There's also a menu command: Editor->Hide Document Outline that does the same thing.
Press the highlighted icon to hide the side panel.
For xcode 11.3 you may hide the preview by
Editor->Preview
make sure it is not checked.
When I'm making edits in storyboard I know how to show the preview in the assistant editor (as shown in the below screen shot).
How to show the preview in a separate window, so that I'll be able to drag it to my the screen attached to my computer?
UPDATE: Adding few more images to clarify what is the "Storyboard Preview":
In XCode 7 I managed to do this by selecting File -> New window, then adding a preview-part teh same way you illustrate above. I then drag it to my secondary screen resize everything to give a good preview of the screen sizes I want.
I have come across a problem when i created a buttons at preview pane using resource editor (visual c++). The problem is when i try to move the width of preview pane the button don't adjust themselves to be in preview pane according to the movement of the preview pane width. (i mean when i reduce the width of preview pane they go outside the border of the preview pane in right side)..
Could any one please give me the solution to come out of this problem ??? I also want to tell you that i already have one photo in the dialog box which already adjust itself to be in preview pane according to the moving preview pane (I mean photo don't create any problem just the buttons i created go outside the border of the preview pane) ..may be because for the photo we have SS_CENTERIMAGE which keeps the image in center but nothing like this for buttons
Please give me the solution i am doing in Visual C++ using createdialog using resource editor..
When a window size is changed that window receives the WM_SIZE message, with the new size. Handle that message in your preview pane, calculate new button positions, and use MoveWindow or SetWindowPos to move the buttons.
In xcode 3 there is that little arrow next to the view title. That little button has gone in xcode 4.
Click the icon on the right hand menu: attribute inspector, this should show Orientation under Simulated Metrics. The Utilites should be opened for that. Look at the screenshot:
