Sorry for the late reply! It seems the community has been busy with
the holidays ;-) My reply to your questions is below:

There was a start on a z-matrix editor a while back, but I don't
believe that it was completed. For now, you can measure the bond
lengths, angles, and torsion/dihedral angles with the Measure tool.
There is also a roundabout way to get a full z-matrix:

The z-matrix will be in the text field of the dialog window.

Hope this helps,

Dave
