Summary:
When you create a xib file manually, and a class file manually, Xcode doesn't let you create properties by drag-dropping from IB into the class header in the side-by-side assistant.

You can still drag-drop into the .m file, which creates an instance variable, but not a property.

After you define the first property manually, Xcode lets you define new ones by drag and dropping.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create new Xcode project, "iOS Simple View Application" template.
2. right click project, "Add new file"->"iOS User Interface", select the "View" template, to crate a new xib. Name it "View".
3. right click project, "Add new file"->"iOS Source"->"Cocoa Touch Class". Name the class "View", and make it a subclass of "UIView".
4. open xib file, and change the "custom class->class" of the view selected to "View".
5. add a simple UIButton to the view
6. change xcode to the side-by-side view, the "Assistant editor".

7. right click on button, try to create a new referencing outlet to the View.h file. Xcode won't let you.

8. right click on button, try to create a new referencing outlet to the View.m file. Xcode will try to create an instance variable.

9. Now on the View.h file, define a simple property like:

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *test;

10. repeat step 7, Xcode will let you do it.

Expected Results:
Xcode should let you create properties on header files on the first try.

Actual Results:
You can't create the properties by drag and dropping until you first define a property manually.

Version:
Version 6.3.1 (6D1002)

Notes:
Project attached was created following the same steps above. Here, opening that project will still reproduce the issue.

Configuration:
Nothing special, brand new project.
