I'm having trouble getting a cut to follow a curve. For some reason the cut won't offset from the curved surface. Any ideas???

Can you posy your part here for us to look at??
Craig,
Are you trying to make cut extrude 55 a cut which follows the curvature of the top face?
A way you could do this is first create a offset surface (in the offset toolbar) of the value you want to cut to. Then in the extrude cut option select upto surface and select the surface just created.

Thank you, that was annoyingly simple.
you can also use the "from" option just above the direction 1 and select "surface/face/plane". Use the top surface of your part as the reference face. This allows your extruded cut to start from the top curved surface.
