IOS 8 Xcode 6: What is the point for highlighted restrictions?

Question

In beta versions of Xcode 6, when I delete a constraint, it does not delete it completely, but unloads it. I thought this should mean that the restriction was used in another class of sizes, but that does not seem to be the case. Also, how do you permanently remove these restrictions?

Answer 1

There are several ways to remove restrictions from the storyboard.

• Try not to remove from the Storyboard object, because sometimes different constraints can stack together and you can delete the wrong one. Therefore, it is better to remove from the document structure . Just highlight the restriction that you want to delete in the Document Structure and just click the delete button on the keyboard. See screenshot below:

• If you want to clear all restrictions from the selected view, select "View" (for example: button "A"), click "Third button" ( "Allow automatic layout settings" ), click Clear restrictions .

• If you want to clear all restrictions for all views inside the view controller, select the correct object management object Object inside the storyboard, click on the third button ( "Allow automatic layout settings" ), Touch Clear restrictions in the "All views in the view controller" section.

Answer 2

Double-click the restriction on the highlighted selection (switches focus to the restriction), then click Delete. This will remove the restriction.

Answer 3

I believe that the answer to the following question is that you can have the same restriction selectively “set” (or, to my knowledge, included) for different size classes. After you select a constraint from the “Document Structure”, you can click the “+” sign to add “Size Setting”, starting with “Attributes Inspector”. Therefore, when you remove a constraint from the Size Inspector, you basically remove the constraint for only a specific size class . To remove a restriction for all size classes, you need to remove it from the document.

Why? Why can't you completely remove the inspector size limit ?!

Answer 4

You cannot remove hidden restrictions from the right size indicator (in which I usually delete restrictions, because it’s much easier to establish what kind of restrictions exist, it really confuses the document structure), but you can remove the same hidden restrictions from the document outline on the left by selecting them and clicking the delete button.

An example of a constraint with highlighted color (see height):

Note. To make it easier to sort out the limitations of the document structure, I first remove them from the Dimension Inspector parameter, which unloads them, and then removes the selection just selected from the Dimension Inspector parameter. Just FYI.

Answer 5

That because of the size classes, you can disable the size classes from the File Inspector, and all gray restrictions end, you can turn them on again if you need them.

Hope this helps
