I am a rank amateur CAD guy.  I have the electronic components and electrical libraries loaded.  When I first set up my drawing surface, I create a layer for wiring and another for components.  As soon as I insert the first component on the component layer, a new layer called contour is created automatically.

When I delete the layer Contour, I warned that all work will be deleted with it.  When I delete the layer, the component disappears.  But the component layer stays.

When I repeat the process, but delete the Components layer instead, I again get the warning that all my work will be deleted.  And when I delete Component layer, the component goes away. This time leaving the Contour layer.

Is this normal?  Am I supposed to use the Contour layer with electrical/electronic drawings and forget doing wiring and component layers?
