stl is generally rubbish - no curves, only planar triangles.

I would probably only use as reference in creating proper high-quality geometry.

Can you Attach an example *.stl file here?

You have to convert the Model into (Mesh to Brep)... Than you can give Dimension to the File.. 

See this Video.. https://youtu.be/2Mxv8yd66Sw ; https://youtu.be/yxC-kwuksug ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgWWVcM5YJY

Here is the files, I already knew the point-to-point measure method, I just want to know that if there is any way to show multiple sizes at the same time that's all xD

In mature software like Autodesk Inventor Professional - you can create dimensioned detail drawings directly from the stl mesh.

In Fusion I think you will have to model the geometry - fortunately this is simple geometry to recreate.

I just did a couple of the dimensions for illustration of the Inventor Professional drawing.

Creating a Drawing Sheet can be a good choice for you after you convert the Model from Mesh to Brep...

It's easy to get the dimensions of an stl model by using the mesh tools.

Note: In the screencast, sketch2 and sketch3 planes are not at the center of the circle in sketch1, so those dimensions in sketch2 and 3 are not accurate. Just project the circle from sketch1 to the other sketches.

Hello,

 

Use the Analysis > Units/Dimensions menu of Meshmixer:
