Ok I found it. We can remove it in the toolchanger.comp and then you will need to recompile the component.
Change line 136 in the file toolchanger.comp from this:
to this.
and recompile the component. It should remove the warning.
Change line 136 in the file toolchanger.comp from this:
bWarn = true; // just warn once, its not an error as such but INFO won't display unless debugging is set 3+
to this.
bWarn = false; // just warn once, its not an error as such but INFO won't display unless debugging is set 3+
and recompile the component. It should remove the warning.

Yes but I will make sure and do it again
Edit; I have tried it again with the same results
This was the line that I changed to false
bWarn = true; // just warn once, its not an error as such but INFO won't display unless debugging is set 3+
rtapi_print_msg(RTAPI_MSG_ERR, "No tool selected. Use M6Tx to set current tool");
break;
and compiled with terminal from config folder . sudo halcompile --install toolchanger.comp

Maybe put the "bWarn = true" back in and just uncomment line 137:
and recompile the component.
Also make sure the file 714.ngc exists.
bWarn = true; // just warn once, its not an error as such but INFO won't display unless debugging is set 3+
// rtapi_print_msg(RTAPI_MSG_ERR, "No tool selected. Use M6Tx to set current tool");
and recompile the component.
Also make sure the file 714.ngc exists.

I seem to have another problem in that when using Home All tab the X rises first then Z which is correct the X homes first and shows it is homed in the gui then Z starts moving to the switch but stops after about 30mm then pressing home all again it will do another 30mm.
and shows this error in the terminal
.
.
BUT if the Z is homed from the machine tab then it will home the Z without error
