Hey Patrick -

That's because "Read Class Files…" only informs interface builder 
about a class. To create an instance of a class, drag an instance of 
"NSObject" out of the library, to your main document window, and then 
use the identity inspector (Command+6) to change the custom class to 
"CustomConverter".
