Visual Studio Project not Deploying PDB file with DLL

I am unable to debug c# code due to missing symbols. The reason is because of a missing PDB file. Here is what I do:

Build and Deploy the visual studio project
Compile the VS project from the AOT
Restart the AX Client (With hot swapping turned on)
1. This puts the newly compiled DLL into my users VSAssemblies directory
  1. user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Dynamics AX\VSAssemblies{GUID}
2. It ONLY puts the DLL, not the PDB file

Ideally, the client startup process that is deploying the hotswapped DLL to my VSAssembly folder should also deploy the matching PDB. Instead, I need to close the ax client again, and add the Matching DLL and PDB file from my projects BIN folder to the VS Assembly folder and then and only then can I debug in Visual Studio.

Am I missing a parameter somewhere? Configs are all set to debug on client, debug on server. Debug target in VS project was both Client and Server with no success. Any help would be appreciated. At this point its just a major annoyance
