It's a cliché, meaning no carry-over from prior designs.

Imagine a designer turning to a new page in his sketch book to create something new.

Of course, nobody uses paper to design these days, but the saying persists.

I think it's most often used in the auto industry.

I'm no expert, and definately not Jim. But my interpretation is that means they started with a "clean sheet", not altering/modifying a previous model. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

That's pretty much what I wrote above. You're right.
