No I don’t think so. I can’t think of a case IB adds constraints to anything automatically at this point. That was Xcode 4 where it attempted to guess what the user wanted and add and remove constraints to keep the layout unambiguous and fully constrained and it was pretty much unusable, shifting a view by 1px could destroy 20 minutes of work. Now you get the views you add and if you want to constrain them, you can and if you don’t you don’t. This all works much better than Xcode 4, or even 5 and although the constraint system still causes me some head-scratching moments, the tools and visualization of the constraints you’ve added, and the ability to select and edit them and see live what’s going on, is 1000x better than it was when autolayout first burst upon us. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
