How to add custom controls in Interface Builder (Xcode)

Question

So I've created a custom control inherited from UIView and I want to use it in Interface Builder. I know I can add an UIView and set its class name to my custom control class name but it only appears on runtime; in interface builder it's just a regular UIView. I want to see the control while I am working on the UI in interface builder.

Thanks

Xcode 6 has added a form of support for placing and previewing custom controls. See the official Apple docs on "Creating a Custom View That Renders in Interface Builder": https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/recipes/xcode_help-IB_objects_media/chapters/CreatingaLiveViewofaCustomObject.html
