As the title states,
Im certainly following the instructions but no matter what area I try and save from I only have the module option, I must be over looking something..
Any ideas?

Yeah, you have to simply rename the file as .dev. However, there is ONE difference: if you place any insert slots in your device, saving your device as .mdl will NOT remember any of the insert effect's parameters. Saving the parent device as .dev will remember the insert effect's parameters. I had to find that out the hard way!

Wait now you have me confused lol,
So if I create a device with insert slots and I save it as a .mdl which seems to be the only option available to me for some reason then it will not remember any effect paramaters, if I change that .mdl to a .dev will it then work?
Or will I need to save as a .dev directly from within SDK, because this seems to be my main issue, no matter where I try and save from I am unable to have the option to save as .dev from any point within the SDK.

rethink Wolf's answer: There is no difference regarding the file format, just the extension is different.
the effect Shyne mentions refers to the runtime environment. You always generate one single version of a device, whatever extension is used.
When the thing finally runs, another part of the system decides how to deal with inserts and uses the extension to distinguish.
There are better ways (you obviously anticipated something more smart...), but the quick and dirty approach is not uncommon at all
cheers, Tom

At 1st I couldnt rename the file and then realized since I have reaktor on this PC it causes the .mdl files to show as reaktor files and does not allow extension changes, I just rebooted into my internet boot and all was fine I could ghetto change the extension.
Cheers!
