Referring to following instruction, I would like to move object based on coordination (X, Y) instead of relating to previous location.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Moving object relative to the previous location

With your active selection, go to Edit » Free Transform. This is the same as pressing Ctrl-T on Windows, or Cmd-T on OS X.

Then, in the toolbar above your image, select the angle point where you want to set the coordinates. In my example, it is the center of the selection.

enter image description here

Now, enter the X and Y coordinates you want your selection to be at. If you want to move your selection relative to the previous location, toggle the triangle button.

During recording action, even through triangle is not clicked, the process of moving object is translate: -100 pixels, -150 pixels, which seem still moving based on previous location. For a few sample movement, I find no problem during recording action at that moment, but after a series of actions is recorded, and when I play back the recorded action, the moving location is different from my previous recorded step.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks you very much for suggestions :>

Transformations recorded in actions seem to operate based on the current position.

As a workaround you could align the Layer to the top left corner of the image (for example) before transforming it.
