Database schema for file E:\8th grade applied technology\Playground\Playground auto desk parts\Side fences1.ipt is (17.0 (Build 170095000, 95)), which is newer than this version (16.0 (Build 160160000, 160)) of the software.

save files out of 2013 as step files, only way to open new files in older software.

As typical in a lot of software, you can open older files in newer version of the software (they automatically migrate forward) but you cannot open newer version files in the older version of software (migrate backwards).

You'll have to save the file as a neutral format such as a STEP file that was previously mentioned.
