The following instructions allow you to format source code files in Source Insight using FormatCode command line tool. We used a free trial version of Source Insight Version 3.5, so if you use an older or even a newer version then several screenshots or menu items may differ from our description.

1. Click "Options" -> "Custom Commands...".

2. Click the "Add" button, then input "FormatCode" to add a new tool.
