1. So as to rotate or cause rotation; with circular motion.
‘a plane circled round overhead’
‘she turned her glass round and round’

1.1 So as to cover or take in the whole area surrounding a particular centre.

1.2 So as to reach everyone in a particular group or area.
‘he passed round a newspaper cutting’

What does 'So as to' mean?
I think it doesn't mean 'in order to'.
