I don't believe this statement is true, if I understand your point correctly. Here's how to create an outlet or an action in IB 3.2 and write it back to your source files. You can also create wholly new classes this way.

1. In any of your project's nib files, go to the Library window (not
the Inspector window) and select the Classes tab. Using the pop-up
menu at the top, select one of your project's classes in the very long
and awkward hierarchical menu. For example, your class MyDocument
would appear in the menu under NSDocument if it inherits from
NSDocument.

You know what? I had never noticed that. I still think the OP is confused, though, about where he was supposed to be looking for things.


Is this less than what you used to be able to do in IB? To the best of
my memory, it gives you more control over what is produced.

Offhand, I don't think it's more or less functionality or control than I remember. But at least for me it was less obvious. I switched over to defining things by hand when 3.0 came out because I found it easier. Or perhaps I should say "more easily."
