"So as to" expresses the purpose/objective/aim. Its negative form is: so as not to +stem.

Most of the time the full expression "so as to" should be reduced to "to." For example drop the "so as" in the previous examples above and leave only "to" and the meaning remains the same. In modern English writing, the less words used, the better.
