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:

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
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:
screen shot 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.
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.
I can't seem to find it. I know xCode 3 had a button to rotate on the view. I want to make the App Landscape. Any idea how?
Open the Attributes inspector from utilities sidebar (Cmd+Alt+4). You'll see the "Orientation" setting there.
You mean the iPhone simulator?
if so, click anywhere on the simulator, the see the menu, select device, you'll see rotate to left, rotate to right.
I am not using an English simulator, so I am not sure about the name of the menu item, but i'm sure you'll be easy to find it.
