is Autocad and Adobe software written in C++ or in .NET?

Question

My question is if Autocad (Autodesk Autocad 2014) source code mainly written in C++ or in .NET. The same for Adobe creative suite.

Of course it has some plug in or interface versus many platform, or scripts, etc... but I want to know exactly the main software how it is manufactured.

Please reply only if 100% sure information from an employee.

My cousin keeps saying that Autocad was written in .net.

thanks

Why do you want to know? If it was .Net, I'd be surprised. AutoCAD does have a .Net API though. — Tom W, Sep 27 '13 at 08:13
There's very little commercial (off the shelf) software written in .NET. — Sean, Sep 27 '13 at 08:27
AutoCAD is mostly C++ with some .NET and also LISP for many of the Express Tools commands. — CAD bloke, Sep 30 '13 at 21:35

I heard that AutoCad, begining with 2009, has WPF UI wrapper. This is old software, so it is 99.9999% that this is C++. So this is 90% of C++ and 10% of .net))
