In principle loading 1.000 is the same as loading 1. As Ivan stated, you need to analyze your CAD data to figure out what layers go into which tables.

You can use ogr2ogr to load the data directly.

You should pick a few files out of your data set to test your ogr2ogr conversion (or FME as Ivan stated). Then you can write a script that loops through all your files and converts them.

Presumably your files are something like map sheets. Therefore, you would want to use the append option of ogr2ogr to, for example, append the roads from each cad file into one "roads table".

CAD files often have weird 'CAD stuff' that doesn't convert well to a GIS - think of cartographic as opposed to representational stuff like cells in Microstation.

Have you considered paying a contractor to convert these files?

I have to load one thousand CAD files to Postgis, but I don´t know how to deal with this issue.

Any help will be appreciated....
