You just have to come up with a visual system to subdivide to eighths, and stick with it consistently for the lock you're working on. Even if what you decide to call 1/8 is not really precisely 1/8, as long as you are consistent and graph accordingly, that is what counts.
Like I said, locks differ, but here is an example of one dial and index subdivision.
1/8: index centered over right edge of number line
1/4: left edge of index lined up with right edge of number line
3/8: index just barely off center to left, but not enough to call 1/4
1/2: index centered
5/8: index just barely off center to right, but not enough to call 3/4
3/4: right edge of index lined up with left edge of number line
7/8: index centered over left edge of number line
