You've asked this question before. The problem is Fusion doesn't see a face as an infinite plane like it does a plane. For your example here you need to select the 2 circular edges then Fusion will give the distance between the centres.

"The problem is Fusion doesn't see a face as an infinite plane like it does a plane." It does here though?:

Also do you know why in the below example I get one distance measured but no XYZ Delta options?:
