Does 2013 work with 2012 or 2011

What im trying to figure out is that if I were to build something on 2013 in my house would it work on school computers that are running Inventor Pro 2011 or 2012.

No it would not, once a file is saved in a newer release you can not go backwards.

You can create the model in the older versions (2011 / 2012) and then edit it in 2013 - but once you have saved it in 2013, there's no going back.

Yes, you can open and edit an older file type in a newer Inventor version. But saving the file in the newer version will migrate (update) it to the newer version. Saving to a neutral file format like STEP will help with this but you will lose modelling data (extrusions and such).

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> One the dataset has been opened and saved in a newer version it can not be opened again in the older version that it originally created. This mainly due to the way in which the data for the new features/tool in the new version save or crate additional data that can not be interoperated/understood by an older version
