What are you trying to update exactly?

The command you are looking for, should be "DIMSTYLE". If you are able to run the command by typing it, you can also find it in your command list.

One way of adding it manually, is to click Manage > User Interface, and search for "Dimension, Update" in the command list (the lower scroll list). From here, you can move it to your desired Toolbar-location in the upper scroll list.

The standard location for the command, is found in Toolbars > Dimension

They should have left an option to type it in as opposed to getting it from the pull down menu.
