I created a UIView xib in Interface Builder and tried everything I could to indicate that the UIView should center itself, anchor itself at center, orient itself in central coordinates, etc. etc.

But whenever I add it as a subview in code, I also have to programmatically set its frame up with CGRectMake() or else it will always add to the top-left of its parent. The math to reframe it is pointless and ugly, so I presume I’m just not twiddling a bit in the IB inspector correctly.

Can anyone confirm this is possible, and if so, what I need to do in IB to accomplish this?

    Centering but maintaining size isn’t possible in IB. Centering but maintaining margins to its superview is though.

    You will have to override the layoutSubviews message or simply keep the calculation code you wrote.
