# operation: sketching.capture-geometry
Description: Allows the user to create geometry by sketching on a map. Returns the geometry that was drawn, along with the map that it was drawn on.

**Example:** Get the geometry of a polygon drawn on the map with the snapping plugin disabled.

_Notes:_ If a plugin is enabled globally, setting it as disabled will override and disable the plugin when executing this operation (Web only).
