What´s the difference between Pull and Move operations?

This tutorial requires:

DesignSpark Mechanical V6.0

In the simplest sense, Pull creates or extrudes, and Move translates or rotates.

For example, if you pull a hole, the size of the hole changes:

But if you move the hole, the location of the hole changes:

Only in the case of Pulling or Moving a planar face is the behaviour similar.

I'm a Mechanical Engineer by qualification though I worked for a long time specialising in Motion Control systems and integration with various PLC systems. I've wide experience of many types of applications from packaging machines to military and some applications that I can't mention. At home, I like to tinker and make things with wood, metal, plastics, electronics and mechanical system. I'm never happier than with a hammer and a screwdriver in my hands....
