When you look at the code that builds such a box, you can see
dimensions used. These can be printed to the LOG file as this example
shows:
\newsavebox{\rulebox}
\newlength{\ruledimen}
\begin{document}
\sbox{\rulebox}{\makebox[1cm]{\hrulefill}}%
\settoheight{\ruledimen}{\usebox{\rulebox}}%
\typeout{\the\ruledimen}%
Default rule height is \the\ruledimen.
\settodepth{\ruledimen}{\usebox{\rulebox}}%
\typeout{\the\ruledimen}%
Default rule depth is \the\ruledimen.
\end{document}
With
\immediate\write16{\jobname: some text}
you could send information to the shell/console window. LaTeXiT also
shows how this can be done.
