Debugging Arduino sketch AVR Dragon

I finally got Atmel Studio 6 and the Arduino Visual Studio to coexist, and I can load and compile a sketch. However, even thought I have specified my AVR Dragon and debugwire as the debug device (and I have enabled debugwire from the tools\device programming window), whenever I try to debug, Studio 6 shows compiling the sketch, but then keeps trying to upload via the serial port. When this occurs, it takes minutes before the system returns an error and I am able to do anything further. I have rebooted, restarted, done everything I can think of, but it always tries to use the com port, rather then the debugwire interface. I'm stumped! I have selected the proper device (ATmega328) the clock speed is set low (250 KHz) so I should be able to connect via debugwire.

Hi,

Visual micro supports arduino compat dev in Atmel studio. So default upload is standard arduino and supported arduino programmers

The Atmel project and device properties are not arduino compatible directly

The visual micro debugger is a software usb debugger that is a replacement for serial print statements

With the free version of Visual Micro you can do is click build. Then click File>Open Object File For Debugging

Then Atmel will create a new solution that allows you to use native upload features to debug your compiled sketch

++ you are a bit caught in the middle. 

Trying to use the dragon is advanced user stuff which is not really what Visual Micro or Arduino is about. However you might find some posts on the forum from other users that use the dragon based on what I have said below.
