OK, so I started again with the svg import on a new document, and now was able to make the small hole (in the top, it is for air to get in to let resin drain during 3D printing). I'm not sure exactly what I did differently. I don't know it is visible in the difference between the files.

You don't need the body.
You can Revolve the path directly.

Revolving the path was not the problem. It was after that trying to make a hole.

Don't use ANY object inside a PD body outside of it, the kind of mixing you are doing here is not a good idea, specially because it serves no purpose, you did all with Part WB you don't the body at all here.
