Two methods come to mind.
(1) If you have a subclass of NSView, create an "empty" nib, then drag over the .h file. In the nib window's classes tab, select the custom view class and choose Instantiate from the Classes menu. This will add a new icon to your nib's instances view. Select and set properties as appropriate.
(2) Drag an NSPanel from the palette to your nib. Place your the contents of your view in the panel. In this case, when you want to add the contents of the panel to your window, just obtain the panel's contentView.
