How do I zoom out on an XIB?

Sort of a 1/2 baked solution, sorry, but select a View in the XIB, then on the right choose the Attributes Inspector, then in Simulated Metrics select different sizes, starting with iPhone 3.5-inch. You can also build to the sim, then zoom it, but that's another pita just to see your work, etc.

Otherwise, there is no simple XIB 'zoom' option in Xcode.

EDIT: This is only for storyboards, not particularly self evident how to do it with them.

You can zoom in/out by double clicking on an unused part of the storyboard canvas.

You can also right click on an unused part of the storyboard canvas and select a zoom value from a context menu...

I don't think any of that will work for XIBs...

I missed that.

Clearly Apple isn't expecting people to use XIB files now.

Sorry about my confusion.

This feature should have been added to XIBs 3 years ago. I hear you.
