Unable to drag objects to the view controller if they are not enlarged

Question

I saw a lot of videos of people working with xcode 4+ in which they can easily drag objects to their views (for example, @ 2: 20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It2fAolaFV0 ). I, on the other hand, have to select the View Controller of interest and increase the crazy amount before I can drag objects onto it (until I see nothing but the UIView background)

I cannot find any preference for this (or information about it), so I could ask here. Does anyone know how to change this?

Answer 1

There is no way to change this. You must increase the view to one view controller in order to be able to drag and drop controls.

Answer 2

ah, here we are two years later, and Xcode 5.1 demonstrates the same behavior.

Double-click anywhere on the storyboard - the editor will approach the correct level to place objects.

Answer 3

To add items, a 100% view should be displayed. This is a limitation of the storyboard implementation. You can force the ViewController you are working on to scale and center by double-clicking on it in the lower panel below it.

Answer 4

You need to zoom in first, but instead of the zoom + and zoom buttons, simply double-click on the particular view controller and it will just reach the size you need to drag and drop the objects.
