Thanks so much for the quick replies!
Duh! I was creating a new PAGE, not a new LAYER . . . .
Problem solved.
Glad we could help. Welcome to TalkGraphics

Why use a Layer when you can Lock the Shape and trace over it?
Also if tracing ensure the final trace shape is partially transparent so you can see and correct errors.

Not sure why others might do this but when I do it, I want the subject I am tracing to be ghosted back so I can see the results of my tracing better.Why use a Layer when you can Lock the Shape and trace over it?

I usually just lock the shape but (generally) use a magenta line during the trace. Once in a while I'll knock back the opacity of the image, but generally just trace right on it.

why move it when you can create it in situ? - what if you are wanting the head[s] traced on one layer, the limbs on another, the torso[s] on another..... surely easier to be methodical from the off rather than have to sort it all out afterwards?
I have no idea what the OP wants, so it's probably academic
