Creating circle in Virtuoso

Hi, Can any one help me how to create a circle snapping to manufacturing grids defined in the technology file? I want to create a circle shape in virtuoso layout editor XL included in iCC 6.1.3. I found out that circle is actually created as a polygon. The problem is that when I export the layout into GDSII file, the ending points of the circle does not snapping to the manufacturing grids. I tried to create several real polygons, it is snapping to the grids. So I was wondering if there should be some additional setting to force circle shape snapping to grids. Please let me know if there is any solutions. Thanks a lot
