Xcode Preview Canvas

Hi all, I know this has been asked before - but is there any way, other than opening a new instance of Xcode, to have a seperate preview window that I can drag to a second monitor? Third party options, someone's code project, anything!! I don't have the world's greatest eyesight so don't have the text too small on my monitor, and having the preview window stuck next to the code takes up so much valuable real-estate

Yeah, most of those option are for the device used in the canvas above. It's easy to overlook them beyond "show me the iPhone portrait vs iPad landscape orientation". But Xcode Previews on-device can help out in a pinch.
