Loading a custom view in a storyboard from a separated nib file

Question

I've customized an UIView in its own .xib file in order to being able to reuse it in several scenes of my storyboard. It is only a view with no view controller behind. I'm trying to load it in the storyboard and to see it in Interface Builder in the scenes I want to place it, with no success. I've been looking for a way to do that and I didn't found a post with an answer that worked for me.

I'm using Xcode 6.3.2 and my app is targeting iOS 7 and above. Could somebody help me?

Thanks in advance

[I was also trying to do this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/34524346/3681880) and making the view @IBDesignable wasn't working for me. Did you ever solve your problem? — Suragch, Dec 30 '15 at 07:08

What I do is make a subclass of UIView with its xib (CustomView.h, CustomView.m and CustomView.xib). And add a UIView to your controller on storyboard. Then assign its class to your custom view class.

This works without loading custom xib via code. But you cannot see the subviews of your custom view on storyboard.

That's what in fact I was trying to do, to see the subviews on the storyboard... thanks – AppsDev Jun 08 '15 at 08:42
