Change the size of a view controller on the storyboard?

How can I change the size of a view controller in an Xcode Storyboard for editing purposes?

I have a bunch of elements in my storyboard and it would be much easier if I could make it bigger. I'm used to Photoshop and other graphical programs that let you increase the size to a more usable one.

I can zoom it out to 100%, but I'd really like the size to be twice as big.

Please note, I want to change the VIEWING size on View controller, NOT the actual size (Simulated Metrics, etc.)

PS. Yes, I know I can use accessibility settings and make my entire desktop larger, but that's a cheap fix to the problem.

First click on View controller and select Size Inspector tab, in Simulated size select freeform and change the width and height.

I see you comment above about not wanting the above suggestion I posted (simulated>freeform). Do you mean 'use size classes' ? Size classes allows you to change to different iPhone or iPad sizes during your design to fit what you need. See picture below
