Has anyone tried this?

I am inclined to agree with Andy. Project has a modest learning curve
and depending on the complexity a simple drawing package might be easier.

If you want a MS Project compatible application then consider ProjectLib

I confess to only using it to open MS Project documents. However the
intention is for ProjectLibre to have the same functionality as the paid
product.
