No "bottom" option.

When I ctrl drag one of my image views onto another, there's no "bottom" option as there is in Pasan's.

New version of Xcode?

Is there a new way to do this?

Please let me know!

Hello, I had the same problem. I don't really know why it worked, but try this out: 1 - select the view and ctrl drag. 2 - when the pop-up box appears, simply click on the view again so that the pop-up box disappear. 3 - ctrl drag it again and the pop-up box will have different options.

I hope it works also for you. Let me know if i doesn't please.

Same issue here, your solution worked, thanks!

Simpler way to remember is drag diagonally to bring up the extra options. That is actually what does it.

Max (and others who need this answered), I'm currently on xcode 6.4, and similar to what Fernando says it's a silly fix.

Instead of "Control dragging" straight up to the UIImageView to open the dialogue box, move your mouse horizontally as well, creating a diagonal line while control dragging.

For some reason vertical lines don't cause the "bottom" option, but slightly horizontal lines do.

Good luck!

This one worked for me. The first solution didn't work out for me

Hi Max

I'm not entirely sure of the "bottom" you're after unfortunately. Am I right in assuming that you're setting up your constraints? From what you've posted it sounds as if what you are looking for is actually "Vertical Spacing" which should be the first option available on the pop-up box when CTRL-Click and dragging from one image view to another. If this isn't the case of course just let me know.

Hey Nick,

I was actually trying to align (not sure if that's the right word) a label with the bottom of an image view. I'm working on something else now, but I'll let you know when I get back to that. Thanks.

Hello All, The Solution that worked:

  1. Click on the view that you added.
  2. Go to attribute inspector in the right pane.
  3. Uncheck the autoresize option.
  4. Now drag the view to UIImage & you should see the "bottom" option.

After this the auto-resize seems to be checked again, maybe because we choose to stick to bottom.

But this did work for me.

You can also drag with ctrl AND option pressed, which gives you additional options. Bottom is amongst these extra options.
