Combined state Appearance in part is not translating into Creo Drawing in Creo 10

In the Creo Part File, I have a Part as a body, 

<A> In that I have created 2 appearances (1. Black[Which is default], 2. Green[New one])

<B> In Combined State, has 1. Default All (referencing Black Appearance), 2. Paint (Referencing Green Appearance)

<C> I can switch between them in the part, and it does what I need it for

 

In the Creo .DWG File, I reference the same Part as above, 

<A> Sheet 1 references some views that have the Combined state Default with Black Appearance 

<B> Now I have a new sheet(Sheet 2) that has some views for the (At least that is the intent) Combined State of the Paint with Gren Appearance

<C> Keep a note that all the Vies are shading with Edges

 

But the Problem is that I never show black and green on sheets 1 and 2, respectively; it always goes to the default appearance that the part has, so if I change the part's appearance/ combined state, that drawing force changes for all sheets

 

Do you have any feedback on what I am doing wrong?

Thank you, @tbraxton

 

I also found that the way I wanted to do a combined state is not possible as per this support article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS255181?source=search

 

But I might just use layers as per the thread you shared.
