Ive got a nib that contains a window with a single tab view with 12 separate tabs, Im changing the setup so that there is a toolbar and the users can switch between two options, each of which contains a tab view with 6 tab items each.
Ideally Id like to somehow explode the current tab view into 2 without having to recreate all the connections etc for the new, smaller tab views.
Check the IB FAQ - it's great! In particular this section:

• I have a control in a container (e.g. tab view) and I want to move this control outside of the container but Cut and Paste break connections. How can I move a control between containers without breaking connections?
This is a known limitation. The workaround is to Option-Drag the control to another window within the same nib file and then Option-drag it back to the original window (if you don't have a second window in your nib then create a temporary window). Option-drag within the same nib doesn't break connections.
