How can you scroll in the Assistant Editor horizontally or vertically? - xcode

Is there a scrollbar to allow horizontal/vertical scrolling in the Assistant Editor preview in Xcode 6?
I know you can zoom in and zoom out but when zoomed out you can only view no more than one device at a time.

As i know theres no scroll bar
Horizontal srcolling:
but you can try
horizontal scrolling:
(shift + scrollMouseWheel up\downslide)
Vertical scrolling:
(scrollMouseWheel up\downslide)
Set active window on preview. (tested on Xcode 6.3)

Not sure about the scrolling, but if you want to view multiple devices in preview best way is to open preview up in a separate window, works very nicely and beats running on your project on 3 different simulators evertime you make a change....see a great tutorial here

How to rotate from portrait to landscape in Xcode Assistant Editor Preview Mode

I am using the Preview Mode in Interface builder in Xcode 10 and cannot see how to rotate from portrait to landscape.
In previous versions you just moved the mouse pointer over the preview outline and got a rotation button. This isn't happening for me.
It is impossible to see in dark mode, but click right where the arrow is and you will be good to go.

Zoom in/out Xcode Storyboards

Zooming in/out on a macOS storyboard in Xcode does not seem to be possible:
Editor -> Zoom menu is greyed out
No + or - buttons on storyboard
I want to zoom out of the storyboards to see more of a view controller, as I can only see a portion.
Edit:
This is Xcode 9.4.1
Screenshot of Main.storyboard:

Zoom Menu:Zoom menu greyed out
Thanks in advance!😉
You can't (in macOS app projects).
You could change the zoom level by:
keep pushing the option button.
and then scroll the mouse wheel.
The benefit that you will get by following this approach is that you would be able to change the level with the desired percentage, instead of being sticked with the provided zoom percentages by clicking the +/- buttons.

No horizontal scrollbar in Xcode's Interface Builder

When I try to edit a storyboard file in Xcode (Version 5.1.1 (5B1008) under OS X 10.9.3) I can only see the vertical scrollbar. Moving around in the horizontal direction between view controllers is not possible. The horizontal bar doesn't show when I hover over it. It only briefly shows when I select past the visible area but it immediately disappears afterwards and I can only scroll by a few pixels at a time this way.
I have tried restarting XCode and the OS but it didn't help. Scrolling was possible before. It stopped working for no apparent reason this morning. I have not updated XCode nor OS X or messed with the system in any way since it was last working. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Do I need to reinstall XCode at this point?
Press Shift + Scroll Mouse this will scroll preview in horizontal
It's a not bug, it's a feature. It wouldn't be a problem if you use the Apple mouse. There is a workaround for a typical 2/3 button mouse, although it would affect all horizontal bars across the system. Just follow System Preferences->General->Show scroll bars, and select Always.
I have been struggling with this as well. The only solution I found is the following:
So there is a mini map for the storyboard that hovers over the right upper-side.
If you can't see it, just click on the "Adjust Editor Options" button and make sure Minimap is selected.
This is the best way to move around just like you are using the scroll bars.

Having 2 xcode windows side by side

So I have a 1920x1080 display, and when I try to run two xcode windows side by side, they overlap each other. I originally faced this problem on my MBP 1650x1050 screen but I am expecting for screen real estate.
Anyone have any ideas how to get it run side by side without the xcode windows getting cropped? I'm using BetterTouchTool to snap the windows to the left and right.
Here's a picture of the cropping:
Hide the toolbar (View > Hide Toolbar) and you will be able to resize Xcode windows to smaller sizes than when the toolbar is visible.
You may also want to hide the Navigator (View > Navigators > Hide Navigator) to make more room for the editor view.
Here is a screenshot with a 1440x900 resolution:
This isn't possible, OS X applications have predetermined minimum height and width attributes, which as far as I know can't be overridden. Believe me, I'm dealing with the same problem. It's pretty frustrating, but there isn't anything you can do about it.
